Houston: The painful death of an airport employee in the US state of Texas after getting stuck in the engine of a passenger plane has been declared a suicide by the local medical examiner. The Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office said on Monday that David Reiner (27) died of lacerations to his body after being hit by the engine, local media outlet KEN 5 reported. It has been said in the news that the medical office termed it a suicide.

The employee died at around 10.25 pm local time, when a Delta Airlines flight had just arrived from Los Angeles to San Antonio (Texas). The aircraft was moving towards the arrival gate when the employee got hit by it.
