This has been doing the rounds since last night (cant vouch for accuracy) but the contents do seem to correlate with the other public information out there ( I cant post URLs yet but Twitter and DanLamothe status ) from the infamous flight.

Text of the document is:
(U) Aircraft Callsign: RCH885; tail number: 2-1109;
type: C17A; departed Hamid Karzai International
Airport (OKAB) at 07112 after it was delayed by a
crowd of local nationals attempting to board the
aircraft by any means necessary. After departure,
the crew through aircraft inspection windows,
noticed that a body appeared to be stuck in the
right wheel well of the aircraft. An IFE was
declared at 10582 for a landing gear malfunction
and possible stowaway. Emergency response
personnel met the aircraft upon landing. Fire
Department confirmed a body was found wedged
against the wheel well of the aircraft with a hand
and foot jammed in retractable elements of the
landing gear doors/mechanisms. Post flight
inspection revealed what appears to be elements
of human remains in the left wheel well also. A
search of the approach corridor to AUAB
uncovered a human hand. This , coupled with air
traffic control tower reports, suggests a second
stowaway similarly attempted to board the aircraft
but departed sometime between departure from
HKIA and arrival in AUAB. Searches of the
approach corridor to AUAB continue with the
assistance of the Qatari government. The crew of
RCH885 departed the aircraft and is currently
being evaluated by Medical and Mental Health
Teams.
Im unable to post URLs so cant link to the actual source but Twitter ghpitboss message 1427457839266676738 should find it.
