Least she could have done is give the man a Swedish Massage. Then, at least, she could have been sure if he was really dead or just passed out.

Well, at least he didn’t hog the armrest. Plus, she probably ate his snack.

Also, for the record, I would rather sit next to a dead guy than a screaming kid or a fatty.

I'm surprised they didn't charge her extra for carrion luggage.

This is why you don’t fly with third-world carriers.

The guy had been sweating and having convulsions before takeoff, but the took off anyway. Then he had to have “cardiac massage,” but still the pilot did not declare an emergency and land. The guy died several hours later.

If I was this guy’s next-of-kin, I’d own that airline.

Gonna hit the post button a couple of times as the site is acting tacky this morning.
