A teenager whose mutilated body was found on a suburban Boston street may have fallen from an airplane's wheel well, an airport official says.
Delvonte Tisdale's remains were found last week in Milton, Massachusetts - nearly 1500km away from his home in North Carolina - several days after he was reported missing.
Logan International Airport spokesman Phil Orlandella said investigators have requested flight path information and are looking into the "remote" possibility that the 16-year-old may have fallen from an aircraft.
The Norfolk, Massachusetts, district attorney's office refused in a statement to directly address the plane theory, but said the investigation "remains active and ongoing on multiple fronts."
Tisdale was a member of the Air Force Reserve Officers' Training Corps programme at North Mecklenburg High School in Charlotte.
