Missed on pre-flight? Not likely. The wheel well areas are not visible by the cockpit. Even if you check them just before closing up and taxiing, someone can easily run up from behind and get into the gear. This happens every so often. I'm surprised they haven't regulated placards in different languages to be places in the wheel wells warning you of imminent death.

We had a frozen corpse in either a 777 or a 747 on a Beijing to SFO or ORD . Apparently the guy had been hiding in the tall grass near the end of the departure runway. He dashed out the airplane when it was stopped and climbed into the wheel well for his hypoxia filled dry frozen last ride.

However, I'm surprised that in spite of this, they haven't regulated placards......
