Federal and state officials are investigating the death of a stowaway found in the wheel well of a Delta Air Lines flight from Dakar, Senegal.
Delta spokeswoman Betsy Talton confirmed the stowaway was found in the wheel well of Flight 35. She said the flight had left Dakar more than nine hours before the body was found. The aircraft landed at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport about 8:45 a.m. Friday.
Talton said federal, state and local law enforcement officials are working with Delta to investigate the incident.
Delta began its flights to Dakar a little more than a month ago as part of a move to open service to Johannesburg, South Africa, for the first time.
Delta previously had offered seats on South African Airways from Atlanta and New York through an alliance with that carrier, but the African airline ended the service last year.
