Utah man dies after crawling into plane engine at airport
[10News] The victim's father said his son was traveling to visit a sick relative but had struggled with mental health for nearly a decade.
And addiction? See the administration of Naloxone (Narcan) in the last sentence
A Utah man died Monday night after he breached an airport security door and crawled into the engine of a plane at Salt Lake City International Airport.

Police disclosed that Kyle Efinger, 30, was a ticketed passenger with a boarding pass to Denver. They said that at 9:52 p.m., a store manager inside the airport reported a disturbance involving a passenger on the secured side of the terminal. Airport control later told officers that a man went through an emergency exit door.

As officers and employees from the airport started looking for the man, they discovered he accessed the airport's ramp area from the emergency exit. The airport detailed that Efinger ran to the south end of the airport's west runway and crawled into the engine of a plane.

Shortly after, a pilot reported seeing Efinger, and officers found clothing and shoes on one of the airport's runways. About 20 minutes later, officials found Efinger unconscious inside a "wing-mounted engine of an occupied commercial aircraft on the deicing pad," police reported.

"The aircraft's engines were rotating," police said. "The specific stage of engine operation remains under investigation."

Officials worked to get Efinger out of the area and performed life-saving efforts on him, including CPR and administration of naloxone; however, he died at the scene.
