Talked to my dad (Delta pilot) last night a little bit about this; he said it happens way more often than anybody would like to think and its always in 3rd world countries where people just want any chance they can to get out. He was up in the flight ops building when they found the body yesterday, he said they had to wait for the body to thaw out before they could remove it and that the cause of death was a combo of freezing to death, suffocating, and being crushed by the wheels.

He said its written very clearly that in 3rd world countries the planes are supposed to keep their speed up when taxi-ing around the runway and to avoid stopping altogether due to stowaways.
