PHOENIX - A Phoenix flight attendant has been found dead in his Hilton hotel room in Mexico City.

Nick Aaronson, a US Airways flight attendant since 2006, was found dead Saturday morning. He had been in Mexico City on a layover.

The cause of his death is under investigation, but news outlets in Mexico are reporting that Aaronson may have been murdered.

Authorities in Mexico told news agencies there that Aaronson was found tied up, and his luggage was dumped all over his hotel room.

Those agencies said it appeared that Aaronson was strangled.

It is not believed that there is any risk to other members of the flight crew, but they have been moved to another hotel as a precaution.
