The body of a man has been found in the landing gear of a passenger plane arriving in the Netherlands from Nigeria, which officials say died trying to reach Europe illegally.


Authorities say the body of an unidentified man was found in landing gear during an inspection of a passenger plane arriving at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands from Nigeria.
