A United Airlines said it remained unclear how or when the person got into the landing gear, which it said was only accessible from the outside of the Boeing 787-10 aircraft.
The company said it was working with law enforcement authorities on an investigation.
The deceased person has not been named.
In a statement, the police department toldHawaii News Nowthat it was conducting an investigation "regarding a deceased individual discovered on an incoming flight from the mainland this afternoon. At this time, no further details are available". (BBC)
