The body of an airport worker who had been missing for five days has been found frozen in a plane's landing gear.

Mariano Herrera-Ba, an aircraft maintenance worker at the Dominican Republic airport in Punta Cana, was discovered at Pearson International Airport in Toronto.

The Globe and Mail reports his body was found in a Skyservice Airbus during a weekly maintenance check.

Police said it was not clear how long the body had been in the aircraft, or where the plane had travelled in the five days since the man was reported missing.

Pc Harry Tam said: "It's possible he was already in Canada once and was unable to get out.

"We'll continue the investigation to figure out whether he went in their intentionally, or accidentally was left in there when working."
