"Tragic Death at Salt Lake City Airport Highlights Mental Health and Security Concerns"
A 30-year-old man named Kyler Efinger died after breaching security at Salt Lake City International Airport and entering an Airbus A220-100's engine cowling. The incident occurred after Efinger, a ticketed passenger, passed through a TSA checkpoint and later caused a disturbance in the terminal. He accessed the airfield through an emergency exit and was found unconscious by authorities, with his clothes on the runway. Despite CPR and naloxone administration, he was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigations by Salt Lake City police and federal agencies, including the FAA, NTSB, and TSA, are ongoing to determine the circumstances of the breach and Efinger's death. The airport is reviewing its response to improve future security and communication.
