Authorities in Zimbabwe have released an impounded Western Global Airlines (KD, Fort Myers Southwest Florida) MD-11F after investigations into a corpse discovered onboard during a fuelling stop at Harare International last week showed no evidence of foul play.

The Zimbabwe Republic Police said in a statement issued late last week that based on the advanced state of decomposition of the body, it is believed he was a stowaway that had managed to get on-board the aircraft while it was on the ground at any of Lagos, Abuja, and Entebbe airports the week before.

A post-mortem determined the man, who was found in the aircraft's air conditioning pack bay, had died of oxygen deprivation.

N545JN (msn 48545) departed Harare for Waterkloof Air Force Base on Friday, February 19 replete with its consignment of banknotes for the South African Reserve Bank.
