A youth was found dead Sunday in the wheel well of a British Airways jet at Los Angeles International Airport, authorities said.
A British Airways pilot found the body during a routine preflight check and notified airport officials about 4:30 p.m. The 747-400 had arrived from London Heathrow Airport at 3:15 p.m. and was to depart for a return flight at 5:20 p.m.
Authorities had not identified the victim as of late Sunday, saying only that he was a young black male. A source familiar with the investigation said the youth — believed to be 17 or 18 — carried documents identifying himself as a South African national born in 1989.
