The APD has determined that the man later identified as Junin Ko committed suicide.
In audio provided by LiveATC.net, the pilot of the Boeing 737 could be heard saying on the evening of May 7 to air traffic controllers, "I believe there might be a person on the runway."
"Where exactly do you see the man?," the air traffic controller asked the pilot, who responded, "They are behind us now."
