United Flight 202 left Chicago's O'Hare Airport the morning of Dec. 24, and the body was discovered upon landing at Hawaii's Kahului Airport. There is no information yet about the person's identity.
The plane had previously flown from Sao Paulo, Brazil, on a direct flight to Chicago, according to Flight Aware. After a layover of about 4 and a half hours, the aircraft left O'Hare for the direct flight to Maui.
