The body of a man has been found lying inside the wheel well of a Boeing 777-200 after it landed at Narita airport in Japan on Sunday. It is believed the man may have been a stowaway who was able to hide himself away in the landing gear compartment just prior to take-off.

His body, wearing only a long-sleeved shirt and jeans, was discovered by an engineer during maintenance. He had suffered frostbite but had no other obvious injuries. The temperature at flight altitude falls to around minus 58 degrees (minus 50C) so it is possible the man died of hypothermia. Police are still investigating.
