A body was found in the wheel well of a United Airlines plane after it landed in Maui.

The discovery was made on Tuesday after the Boeing 787-10 arrived at Kahului Airport, United said in a statement. The Christmas Eve flight took off from an airport in Chicago.

The body was in the wheel well of one of the main landing gears. United said the area where the body was found is only accessible from outside the aircraft.

It is not clear how or when the person accessed the wheel well, the airline said, noting it is working with law enforcement. Further details were not immediately available.

The Maui Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday. Authorities told Hawaii News Now that the department was investigating.
