Direct answer
- A May 11, 2026 report identifies a man named Michael Mott as the person struck and killed by a Frontier Airlines plane during takeoff at Denver International Airport. The incident prompted an emergency response, with several passengers reportedly injured during the evacuation.
Context and notes
- The report frames Michael Mott as the deceased, with authorities indicating the death resulted from a suicide attempt after he trespassed onto the runway area. This aligns with initial statements from local authorities and the Denver medical examiner’s office cited in coverage from that outlet.[1]

Related background (noting Michael Mott’s public profiles)
- Separate public pages about a performer/songwriter named Michael Mott exist, including performance histories and bios, but those are unrelated to the Denver airport incident. If you’re seeking information about the Denver case, focus on credible local/national outlets reporting on the airport event.[2][3]
Citations
