Police are investigating the possibility that 16-year-old Delvonte Tisdale stowed away in a jet wheel well and fell to his death when the doors opened on the jet's approach to landing last week in Boston, according to an airport spokesman.

The body of Tisdale, a North Mecklenburg High student, was found last Monday in Milton, a suburb on the south side of Boston.

Police say the teen's body suffered massive trauma.

Milton is over the approach used by some aircraft headed to Logan International Airport, although airport officials say most flights use an approach route farther east, over the ocean.

Meanwhile, Massachusetts police are encourage anyone with information on Tisdale to call them at 781-830-4800 ext. 215.

Tisdale was reported missing Nov. 15 by relatives in Charlotte - the same day police found a body in Massachusetts.

According to stories published by the Boston Globe, Milton police said Tisdale suffered broken bones and severe trauma, particularly to the head. Investigators also discovered bone fragments at the scene.

In Tisdale's pocket was a month-old hall pass with his name. It also included the words "A lunch" and a scribbled signature with the date "10/19/2010."
