Man Killed By Frontier Airlines Jet On Runway At Denver Airport Identified

The man who was struck and killed by a Frontier Airlines plane on a runway at Denver International Airport has been identified.

Denver’s chief medical examiner said on Tuesday that they identified the man as 41-year-old Michael Mott.

“Mott had climbed the perimeter fence just minutes before walking on the runway. He was identified by fingerprints at the scene. According to Denver’s chief medical examiner, Sterling McLaren, Mott’s death was ruled a su*cide. He was sucked into one of the plane’s engines,” Collin Rugg wrote.

“Denver Police Chief Ron Thomas says no vehicle or bike was found at the location where Mott jumped the fence. While Mott reportedly scaled the 8-foot-tall fence, the airport’s motion sensors detected a herd of deer near where he was. Mott reportedly had previous contact with law enforcement in the metro area, but no more details were released,” he continued.
