According to the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office in Texas, the tragic death of a worker at San Antonio International Airport was the result of a suicide, local media reported. The victim, identified as David Renner, 27, died last Friday of blunt force and puncture wounds after being sucked into the engine of a Delta Airlines plane as the aircraft was taxiing to the gate after arriving from Los Angeles, California. Renner was an employee of Unifi Aviation, a company contracted to perform ground operations for the airline.
Both Delta Airlines and Unifi Aviation expressed deep sorrow and sadness over Renner’s death. Delta Airlines issued a statement declaring its dismay at the tragic event. For its part, Unifi Aviation announced that it will provide on-site bereavement counselors through Tuesday.
The US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has decided not to conduct an investigation into the incident, arguing that there were no safety concerns related to the aircraft or the airport, according to media reports.
This tragic event has shocked the community and has been labeled as an act of suicide by forensic authorities. The loss of David Renner is regrettable, and both the airline and the contractor are providing emotional support to their employees at this difficult time. The NTSB has determined that there is no need to investigate the incident because no safety concerns were found in connection with the aircraft or the airport.
