The plane was being held at Terminal B while the medical examiner’s office spent several hours onboard the aircraft.
“The OCME can confirm we’re investigating what we believe to be a human fetus found deceased on an airplane. We will release cause and manner of death upon determination,” a spokesperson with the medical examiner’s office said. source
The plane was later moved to an American Airlines hangar.
The woman, who did not alert the plane’s crew, was admitted to the hospital after the flight landed.
The investigation caused crippling delays to at least one other American Airlines flight.
