A Delta Air Lines Inc. mechanic died while working on a plane at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport Tuesday morning, the company said

The worker was working on an Airbus A319 set to fly out of the airport early Tuesday, Delta spokesman Anthony Black said. He was found unconscious around 5:30 a.m.

Black said he did not know what kind of maintenance the mechanic was performing, but that the Atlanta-based airline was cooperating with authorities in their investigation.

The mechanic's name is being withheld pending family notification.

"We extend our deepest sympathies to his family and friends and our full support to them and our employees in Minneapolis," Black said.

The accident did not cause any delays or cancellations, Black said.

Emergency responders found the mechanic inside the wheel well of the nose landing gear, said airport spokesman Pat Hogan.

They checked for a pulse but found none, he said.

Airport police and the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office are investigating.
