A Qatar Airways flight to Venice turned very sad when a passenger suddenly collapsed and died during the flight, shocking everyone on board. Passengers Mitchell Ring and Jennifer Colin were on the flight and shared their distressing experience.
The trouble started when a woman stepped out of the bathroom and fell down near their seats. The flight crew rushed to help her, but sadly, they could not save her life. “It was heartbreaking to watch,” said Ring.
After the crew tried but failed to move the lady’s body to the business class section, they had no choice but to place her next to Ring and Colin in their row. “The crew asked if I could move over to make space, and I agreed without hesitation,” Ring explained.
Despite the unusual and uncomfortable situation, no other seats were offered to them. Noticing Colin’s distress, a kind passenger behind them offered her a spare seat. Ring mentioned that there were many empty seats around them.
For the next four hours, Ring had to sit next to the deceased passenger. Even after they landed, he was told to stay in his seat while medical teams took the body away. He expressed disbelief, saying, “It wasn’t nice.”
The couple found the whole experience upsetting and stated it put a damper on their trip. Qatar Airways has said they are looking into the situation and are reaching out to the affected passengers. A spokesperson for Qatar Airways expressed condolences, adding, “We apologize for any distress this incident may have caused.
