Analysis
The co-plt was helping the passengers de-plane while the plt remained in the acft with the engines winding down after shutdown. The plt stated that he observed a commotion outside the acft and shortly thereafter exited it. He then realized that an individual, a lineboy who was scheduled to refuel the acft, had been struck by the rt engine propeller. He further added that he did not see him approach the acft.
