How CBS reported that the 57-year-old was found in the inaccessible Terminal 5 for international flights. She was found trapped in a baggage conveyor system.
It is still unclear how the deceased got to the cordoned-off area. In any case, her presence was not a security breach, as she was not in the high-security area.
The identity of the woman is also still unclear. She was probably not part of the airport staff.
Accident after hotel collapse: demolition to begin, one more dead in the rubble
According to media reports, the 57-year-old had already been recorded by a surveillance camera in Terminal 5 five hours before her death.
The investigation must now find out why the security personnel did not intervene and the woman was able to pass unhindered.
