Apparently walked into a spinning propeller on a Piedmont Airlines Embraer (prop jet) at Montgomery Alabama airport. Witnessed by boarding passengers. No further details. LINK

Sounds like family might get a big pay day. Spinning props with passengers about.
Edited: Stand corrected as it seems he was sucked into jet engine. If the unit was parked and at idle, he'd damned near have to climb in. If the engine didn't eat one, it would probably still deflate one's lungs.

Rocky, an Embraer E175 is not a turboprop. It has no propellers. Might have been sucked into the inlet though. Not his day no matter how it happened. https://www.embraercommercialaviation.com/commercial-jets/e175/

On the C-123 flightline at Tan Son Nhut in the Spring of 1966, one of our mechanics walked into a prop one night. Awful.

I had a lady as a patient for about 30 years who did that after deboarding a private twin engine plane as a teenager. She must have walked into the back side, had some huge head scars and a distorted skull and brain damage and her eyes didn't work together. Very skinny and unhealthy.
Pretty sad.

Where did the spinning prop part come from?
What airline allows ground boarding w/ spinning props or running engines ?

Damn! I can’t imagine wanting to kill myself. Much less being in place mentally where someone would want to do it like that. I hate thinking about someone that unhappy with themselves and life.

Was going to say you have to give him props, but I guess not.
Suffered from ingestion.

Situational awareness. Might have been something as simple as pulling chocks and walked too close to the engine inlet. I'm kinda surprised he got sucked in if the engine was at idle.

Would you like to correct Rocky the OP first instead of letting him slide like a greasy pickle on this?

I saw a lady walk ( run) into the prop on a twin ottter. luckily the blades were feathered but cut her up something ugly. after that the airline put up a rope barrier. I had told them many times someone would do that! this was in Belize.
