The extra passenger is believed to have died from
hypothermia. Occasionally, stowaways are discovered in wheel wells of
aircraft.”
“Sometimes they survive, but most of the time it goes
wrong given the sharp drop in temperature. On longer flights,
temperatures can go down to minus fifty degrees, impossible to survive,”
