Husband, 63, dies beside his wife when 'litres of blood' shoot out of his nose and mouth all over the interior of the plane in front of screaming passengers flying from Bangkok to Germany

Perhaps esophageal varices.

Take the body to Dr. Bishop’s lab at Harvard...
Only way we’ll find out what really happened...

[Nervous Tick]

>> “Liters?”

It’s the Daily Mail... c’mon man!

[Cold_Red_Steel]

The unit of measure didn’t bother me. It was the fact they reported he lost multiple liters. After someone loses two there’s not much you can do except go through his pockets to check for spare change.

I’m guessing a burst aorta with infiltration into the stomach.

[Albion Wilde]

varicose veins in an esophagus, typically secondary to liver cirrhosis... characteirzed by EXPLOSIVE and projectile bleeding, due to backed up venous blood flow impeded by a hardened liver.

My first thought, as well.

[Cold_Red_Steel]

It means the man is qualified to be the Democratic Party’s Presidential Candidate if they can keep him in the basement.

[Nervous Tick]

Actually, I wasn’t referring to the metric units, I was referring to the hyperbole of it, like you. But it’s the Daily Mail... drama and hyperbole are their stock in trade!

Laughing despite myself.

DVTs are usually in the legs, and happen during long flights, not at the beginning...

[grey_whiskers]

The Renaissance Festival comedy duo Puke and Snot did a great version of that on one of their releases.

[Tunehead54]

Thailand?
Wuhan?
Fauci?

Bump? ;-)

[DariusBane]

Sounds like something out of the episodic show Fringe. Just a horror!

[LadyDoc]

It could be a Tuberculosis cavity or bronchiectasis or tumor that ate into a blood vessel and change of air pressure made it rupture.

Bleeding stomach ulcer or esophagus ruptured from violent vomiting also could do this.

There are few symptoms until the blood vessel bursts.
