Aer Lingus Passenger Flips Out, Bites Fellow Passenger, Dies
A 24-year-old man became agitated on an Aer Lingus flight from Lisbon to Dublin, bit another man, fell unconscious, and later died, reports The Guardian.
The Irish Mirror says the man “ran amok” and was restrained after becoming “extremely violent.” A doctor on board attempted to treat the man after he fell unconscious, but he could not be saved.
Police said they were investigating after the flight was diverted to Cork when the captain declared a “medical emergency”.
