Passengers Are Forced To Sit Beside A Dead Body After Woman Dies On Plane

Passengers on board a flight from Turkey were forced to sit next to a dead body.

A 50-year-old woman on-board the flight had a diabetic seizure and eventually died of suspected heart failure.

She is believed to have died to 45 minutes into the three-and-a-half-hour flight. She had left her insulin in her hold luggage. Her husband told Russian press that they didn't think she'd need it as she had taken a shot an hour before the flight.

Passengers on the flight, which was flying to Moscow from Turkey, took pictures of the body, lying in the middle of the aisle, covered with a blanket.

I mean, I don't really know what the staff are expected to do in a situation like this. According to the Daily Mail, some planes have a 'corpse cupboard' to place dead bodies in, or they can be placed on empty seats, if there are any. However, on busy flights, like this one, that isn't always an option.
