The flight attendants then saw that there were two open seats in the row of four seats where Mr. Ring and his wife, Jennifer Colin, were seated. They asked Mr. Ring to move over one seat, and placed the body in the seat where he had been sitting. Ms. Colin moved to a different row of seats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Through tears, Ms. Colin, described the experience as shocking. \u201cI\u2019m not a great flyer at the best of times,\u201d she said in the interview.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Upon landing, Mr. Ring said, he was told to stay seated as paramedics removed blankets from the body. The couple said in the interview that the airline had not offered them support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Qatar Airways said in a statement on Wednesday that airline officials had spoken with the passengers seated next to the body to address their concerns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe safety and comfort of all our passengers is of paramount importance to us,\u201d the statement said. \u201cOur thoughts are with the family members of the passenger who sadly passed away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A spokesman did not respond to questions about whether the airline had offered compensation.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-5121dd0d\">What is the protocol when a person dies midflight?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">While distressing, moving the body of someone who has died to a seat is normal protocol, according to guidelines set by the International Air Transport Association, an airline trade group. Here is the standard procedure for flight attendants:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"css-1le37cb ez3869y0\">\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c eoqvrfo0\">\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Alert the captain.<\/strong> The captain will advise the authorities at the destination airport so that officials can be ready to meet the flight when it lands, according to the association.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c eoqvrfo0\">\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Move the deceased to a seat with few passengers around. <\/strong>If the flight is full, the body should be returned to its original seat or one that doesn\u2019t obstruct an aisle or exit. \u201cBe aware of the difficulty of the situation for companions and onlookers,\u201d the guidelines say.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c eoqvrfo0\">\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Put the body in a body bag.<\/strong> Zip it up to the body\u2019s neck, and secure the body in place with a seatbelt. If no body bag is available, cover the corpse with a blanket.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c eoqvrfo0\">\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Close the eyes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"css-1i3ul0c eoqvrfo0\">\n<p class=\"css-1il0jfh evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Disembark passengers first. <\/strong>Family members should stay with the body.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-70b75b69\">Why is a seat the safest option?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When dealing with a dead body on a flight, \u201cyou cannot leave it on the floor,\u201d said Jos\u00e9 Alvarado, a pilot with the Icelandic airline Play, explaining that it could hit a nearby passenger if there were turbulence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the event of a medical emergency, the pilots will stay the course or divert the flight depending on the situation. There are doctors available via satellite communication to advise on how best to treat and monitor a patient, he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">If all efforts fail and a passenger dies, pilots will often continue to the planned destination, Mr. Alvarado said. In his decades as a pilot, a passenger has died midflight only once while he was at the controls. It was 1999, and a passenger had a stroke on a flight from Havana to Madrid, he recalled. He continued flying to Madrid, where paramedics took the body and assisted the man\u2019s daughter, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cYou have very little options at 39,000 feet,\u201d Mr. Alvarado said.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-55e25c07\">How frequently do people die on planes?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In-flight deaths are rare. There is one medical emergency for every 604 flights, according to a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/23718164\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">study<\/a> published in 2013 that reviewed medical emergencies on flights between 2008 and 2010. Of the more than 10,000 patients for whom data was available, just over a quarter were taken to hospitals and just 0.3 percent, or about 30, died. The most common issues were possible strokes or respiratory symptoms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/26\/world\/europe\/dead-body-flight-qatar-airways.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Australian couple\u2019s dream trip to Venice turned into a nightmare when flight attendants asked them to stay seated next<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9005,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[584,3201,3198,3199,488,1363,3200,1790],"class_list":["post-9004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world","tag-airlines-and-airplanes","tag-doha-qatar","tag-flight-attendants","tag-international-air-transport-assn","tag-melbourne-australia","tag-pilots","tag-qatar-airways","tag-workplace-hazards-and-violations"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>A Woman Died Midflight.
