Nice to see they're alert in Chicago. I guess they wanted to make sure

Passenger found dead hour after plane lands at O'Hare

A passenger was discovered dead aboard American Airlines Flight 154 from
Tokyo to Chicago on Wednesday afternoon, police said.

The man apparently suffered a heart attack and was found by a cleaning
crew about 5 p.m., an hour after the aircraft landed at O'Hare
Airport, said Chicago Police Officer Matt Jackson. Authorities were
notified and the man was pronounced dead at the scene, a detective
said.

An autopsy is set for today.

The name of the 66-year-old man, whose passport shows he was a U.S.
citizen, was not being released by authorities pending notification of
his family. The passenger had been scheduled to get on another flight
to Indianapolis, his final destination, said Tim Smith, American
Airlines spokesman.

After the plane had been moved from Terminal 5 to another terminal for
cleaning, a crew found the man in a bathroom, Smith said.
