The death of a Texas airport worker who was tragically sucked into a jet engine on Friday night has been officially ruled a suicide by the Bexar County Medical Examiner's Office. The victim, identified as 27-year-old David Renner, died of blunt and sharp force injuries at the San Antonio International Airport, according to a report by KEN 5.
The medical examiner's office indicated that there were signs that pointed to suicide, as reported by WOAI.
Emergency crews were alerted to the horrific incident following reports of a ground worker being "ingested" into the engine of a Delta plane that had just landed from Los Angeles. The scene they encountered was nothing short of nightmarish.
Initially, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) launched an investigation into the incident, seeking to uncover any potential operational safety issues with the airplane or the airport. However, this inquiry came to an abrupt halt on Monday after the medical examiner's determination of suicide. A spokesperson for the NTSB, as quoted by KEN 5, stated, "There were no operational safety issues with either the airplane or the airport."
Delta Airlines, as well as the company that employed Renner, Unifi Aviation, have expressed their condolences to the family and friends of the victim.
