New details surrounding the identity of the man who was dismembered by a Frontier Airlines jet engine at Denver International Airport on May 11 have surfaced, revealing a troubled past that included more than 20 arrests.
The victim was identified as 41-year-old Michael Mott, who authorities believe intended to take his own life when he jumped the airport’s perimeter fence and walked onto the tarmac as a Los Angeles-bound Airbus A-321neo moved down the runway.
Mott was struck at 11:19 pm, after officials said he climbed over an 8-foot fence topped with barbed wire and reached the runway in roughly two minutes, leaving airport staff with no time to intervene.
