An exhausted-sounding man sent last-minute "Mayday" calls from a Cypriot airliner that mysteriously crashed earlier this month killing 121 people, investigators have revealed.

But according to Greek media the calls went unheeded because the man -- thought to be a steward trying to take over the controls and fly the plane -- was tuned to the wrong frequency.

In a preliminary report released Monday, investigators said the plane appeared to suffer a depressurization problem and crashed when the engines stopped after it ran out of fuel.

But what launched the chain of events that brought the plane down remains a mystery.
