The North Carolina teenager Delvonte Tisdale, whose remains were found in a Boston suburb, most likely fell off as the plane lowered its landing gear on arrival, according to District Attorney William R. Keating.
He said “It appears more likely than not that Mr. Tisdale was able to breach airport security and hide in the wheel well of a commercial jet airliner without being detected by airport security.”
A local resident in the Milton neighborhood of the city reported hearing a loud thump outside around 9pm and the plane landed at the local airport ten minutes later.
