Horror as man dies on Aer Lingus flight 'after biting passenger'
A man died onboard an Aer Lingus flight this evening, forcing the plane to make an emergency landing.
Flight EI 485 was travelling from Lisbon, Portugal, to Dublin, when it is understood a passenger onboard “ran amok”, and “bit” one of his fellow passengers.
Reports claim the man began “biting another passenger” and was later restrained by crew after becoming “extremely violent”.
It is understood the man later became unwell after being restrained and fell into a state of unconsciousness, before being pronounced dead on the Dublin-bound flight.
The pilot informed controllers of the situation on board and requested clearance to divert and land at the airport after the man started to become “extremely violent”.
He told controllers that there was a passenger “running amok” and that he had “injured one or two passengers”.
It is also understood there was a doctor on board who tried to assist the restrained passenger.
While nearing Cork airport, the crew informed controllers there was a doctor on board treating “a gentleman”, but said the man in question no longer had a pulse.
A second man was bitten as he tried to help the deceased.
imagine being somewhere, let alone a confined space thousands of feet above ground, when a man goes CRAZY, bites you, then suddenly dies i would be so ****ing paranoid
