Man found dead on Jet2 flight

A man has been found dead on a Jet2 flight after people became concerned about someone being in the toilet for a really long time. The passenger was discovered in the bathroom of the flight from Tenerife to Manchester last Tuesday. 
A spokesperson for the airline said "Flight LS918 from Tenerife (TFS/GCTS) to Manchester (MAN/EGCC) diverted to Cork Airport (ORK/EICK) due to a customer requiring medical attention. Regrettably, we can confirm that the customer sadly passed away. Our thoughts are with the customer's family and friends at this very difficult time."

One passenger said: "My husband reported someone had been in toilet a very long time and he thought he was dead. Tragically he was right. "He informed the crew who were dismissive towards him. Toilets should be checked more regularly when an event like this happens. If they were, maybe the poor man could have been saved. I heard he travelled alone. Everyone on board was very upset by the tragic circumstances."

The aircraft should have landed in Manchester at 8.30pm but with diversion to Cork, the aircraft landed in Manchester around 1.30am."
