Plane Passenger Dies on 12-Hour Long Haul Flight

The crew alerted air traffic control, prompting emergency services to prepare on the ground. A Cathay Pacific spokesperson told People the passenger “became unwell during the flight.” “The crew and a doctor on board immediately provided first aid; however the passenger had unfortunately passed away,” the spokesperson said. “An ambulance was called, and paramedics were on board immediately after the aircraft landed at Hong Kong International Airport.” The man, an insurance broker who had immigrated to the U.K., was reportedly traveling with his wife and frequently flew between Hong Kong and the U.K. for medical checkups and business after being diagnosed with cancer last year, HK01 reported. Authorities said an autopsy is underway, and the cause of death has not yet been determined.Read it at PeopleRead more at The Daily Beast.
