A dead fetus was discovered by a cleaning crew in the bathroom of
an American Airlines commercial plane on Tuesday, after the plane
had landed at New York’s LaGuardia Airport on Monday
evening.
According to
NBC 4 New York, American Airlines Flight 1942 left Charlotte,
North Carolina, at 8:56 p.m. and landed at LaGuardia’s Terminal B
at 10:44 p.m. on Monday night. After passengers had deplaned, the
plane,
an Airbus 321, was placed at Hanger 5 and went out of
service.
Law-enforcement sources told NBC that the discovery of the baby
was made before 7 a.m. on Tuesday. The baby’s body was reportedly
found in the airplane’s toilet.
While there had been some initial confusion by other outlets as
to the age of the dead baby, a spokesperson for American Airlines
confirmed to Business Insider that the baby was a fetus.
Police were immediately called to assist after the
discovery was made. The city medical examiner was also called to
the airport to investigate the incident.
In a statement to Business Insider, American Airlines
spokesperson Matt Miller said, “As we continue to learn more
about this tragic and sensitive situation, we are actively
cooperating with law enforcement in its investigation.”
The Port Authority deferred Business Insider’s questions to
the Queens District Attorney’s Office, saying they are “handling
the investigation.” They did not immediately return Business
Insider’s request for comment.
