Family of NC Teen Who Fell From Plane Considering Lawsuit

BOSTON (CBS) - The family of a North Carolina teenager who fell to his death from a plane over Milton is apparently considering a lawsuit.

Delvonte Tisdale's relatives have hired a lawyer.

Tisdale's body was found in pieces last November. Investigators said it appears he stowed away on a commercial jet and fell from the wheel well while the plane was on approach to Logan Airport.

His family is considering a possible lawsuit against the TSA that, it claims, didn't catch the 16-year-old when he snuck on the plane.
