SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, Feb. 19 (UPI) -- A body fell from the wheel well of a cargo plane just as it took off from the Dominican Republican for Miami, the Federal Aviation Administration says.

The Amerijet Boeing 767 landed safely at Miami International Airport Thursday afternoon where investigators examined it for evidence, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.

The body remained in Santo Domingo.

There was no immediate word on the identity of the victim.
