The unidentified man's mangled body was found on the roof of
a home in Lahore late Thursday. An autopsy confirmed that the body fell a long
distance, police official Jawad Qamar said.
The homeowner told police the body landed with a loud bang
and that he heard a plane in the air at the time, Qamar said.
An Airblue flight heading to Dubai was in the sky at the
time, Civil Aviation Authority spokesman Kamran Malik said.
Authorities believe the young man may have hidden in that
plane's landing gear, though the investigation was ongoing.
It was not yet clear at what altitude the plane was flying.
Airblue officials could not immediately be reached for comment Saturday.
Accidents involving stowaways, who are mostly economic
migrants, have happened before.
