A medical examiner's office is performing an autopsy to determine their cause of death.

The bodies of two people were found in a landing gear compartment of a JetBlue plane at the Fort Lauderdale airport in Florida, according to the company.

The Airbus flight came in from New York’s John F Kennedy International Airport, departing at about 20:00 local time (01:00 GMT) on Monday and landing at about 23:00.

Local police are investigating how the two people accessed the plane, while a medical examiner’s office is performing autopsies to determine their causes of death, according to the BBC’s US partner CBS News.
