Thaivisa News Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Samut Prakan: A 54-year-old Malaysian woman died on board an EgyptAir flight from Cairo before it landed at the Suvarnabhumi International Airport Tuesday afternoon. Airport police were informed of the death at 12:15 pm shortly after the Flight MS 960 of EgyptAir landed. The police were informed that Nik Aziah Binti Nik Yusof died before the landing. Police checked and found the woman’s body on the seat No 22B. Medical officials checked and did not find any wound or trace of fighting or her body. The body was sent to the Police General Hospital’s Forensic Medicine for an autopsy. The woman was travelling from Cairo, Egypt, with her 25-year-old son and she was scheduled to make a transit flight at the Suvarnabhumi International Airport to Malaysia. The son told police that his mother had chronic illness, including high blood pressure, and she was returning home to Malaysia to receive treatment. The son said his mother complained of stomachache and pain over the body during the flight so he told her to try to sleep. But when the plane landed, he found that his mother has died. Police will inform the Malaysian embassy in Bangkok to reclaim the body to be sent to Malaysian for religious rite. A similar incident happened abroad a Nok Air flight from Don Mueang to Chiang Mai on January 17. A 60-year-old man became unconscious shortly after the flight took off. The captain had to return to land at the Don Mueang Airport. A flight attendant gave him resuscitation but there was no response. He was pronounced dead at a hospital.

sungod Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Not out of morbid interest, but what do they do with people who die on flights? Are they stowed away somewhere or covered with a blanket in their seat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuananddon Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Be careful on those long flights if you have circulation problems. DVT is very serious stuff when a person doesn't move around much. It was discussed on here a while back. Seems like the older a person gets the more prevail ant it is. Must have been a shock to the son upon arrival. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudzu Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Not out of morbid interest, but what do they do with people who die on flights? Are they stowed away somewhere or covered with a blanket in their seat? Normally should be stowed away at the closest entrance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prbkk Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Not out of morbid interest, but what do they do with people who die on flights? Are they stowed away somewhere or covered with a blanket in their seat? They stay in their seats and are covered. Staff will move other passengers in the immediate vicinity, to the extent that it is possible. This is not an infrequent ....Heathrow has at least 50 DOA per annum, probably more because of the way certificates are issued. Very traumatic for the son in this case.

No Costas that's death, life is when you can get up and walk off the plane. Unfortunate but dying in your sleep is probably one of the better ways to go.

Apparently some of Singapore Airlines 747's have a special compartment for this purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
