A Hartsfield-Jackson worker was killed at the international airport's tarmac following an accident Wednesday afternoon.
According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, an autopsy was performed Friday but the results have not yet been released.
The worker, who is reported as a contractor with United Airlines, stood next to a plane near Concourse T at the time on the incident.
A bag loader truck backed up to the opening of the plane where the victim stood. The worker was then struck by the vehicle, which lodged him between the truck and the plane's opening.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Atlanta Police Department's accident investigations unit responded to the scene and charges are not expected to be filed.
The victim was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, where he later died.
The name of the victim has not been released.
