The medical team was already ready at Mumbai Airport. He was given CPR (heart massage) on a stretcher, but his condition did not improve and he was declared dead. In the video that went viral, a doctor can be seen trying to save them. The initial reason is believed to be a cardiac arrest (heart attack), but the official medical report is still awaited.
Let us tell you that one such incident took place in April, when 32 -year -old Indian migrant Beni died on a flight while going to Kochi from Kochi. That flight was also emergency diverted to Mumbai, but they could not be saved either.
