A decomposing body was found in the landing gear compartment of an aircraft that landed at Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia, coming from Tokyo, Japan. Officials noticed a strong odor after landing, around 6:30 AM. The victim, estimated to be between 20 and 30 years old, was wearing a white shirt and jeans, had no documents, and their identity has not yet been determined. Forensic experts believe the body may have been in the location for approximately 72 hours, and investigators suspect the person may have accessed the compartment during an earlier leg of the journey, a location that offers extreme conditions.
