Chicago (AP) — The dead woman who was found entangled in a baggage conveyor belt at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport died by suicide, authorities said Friday.

The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office concluded following an autopsy that the 57-year-old woman died by asphyxiation from hanging.

Few details provided but difficult to understand how this could happen.

The incident took place early Thursday morning near Terminal Five at O'Hare, the Chicago Fire Department said. Terminal 5serves Delta Airlines as well as a number of international carriers.

CFD officials initially said the call reported a person was trapped in machinery at Terminal 5. Chicago fire officials later said the woman had become "entangled" in the conveyor belt system used to transport baggage.
