Man smuggles Self to London/NewYork in ArikAir Wheel but returned Home Dead

A dead body has been found in the wheel well of a plane operated by Nigerian airline Arik for its London and New York routes, a spokesman said.

The man's body was found on Friday in an undercarriage wheel compartment after the Airbus A340-500 plane returned to Lagos from London, said Arik spokesman Adebanji Ola, but it was unclear when or how he gained access to it.

"They just found the body in the aircraft yesterday. There's no identity on it," he told AFP, adding an investigation would be carried out.

Previous such cases have seen stowaways hide inside planes' wheel wells in Nigeria or other countries in hopes of making it abroad. They have previously frozen to death or been crushed by the wheel. Source
