The deceased has not yet been identified

Yeah, you need a DNA test to ID someone who's gone through a turbofan. I've seen pics of an aftemath of such incident. You can't even tell the species from remains that have the consistency of tomato juice.

How is this happening? I mean, how did he get sucked in the engine? Genuine curiosity.

Lapse in safety procedure is the most likely culprit. My guess is a ground crew member forgot the rules and walked in front of the engine, or it was spun up sooner than it should have been.
