A young woman from Melbourne has tragically passed away on an international Qantas flight. Manpreet Kaur, aspiring to be a chef, embarked on her journey from Melbourne to Delhi on the 20th of June, eager to reunite with her family after more than four years. Tragically, she did not make it. A friend revealed that the 24-year-old student felt unwell hours before the flight yet managed to board without difficulty.
As she attempted to fasten her seatbelt, Ms. Kaur collapsed and passed away instantly. This occurred while the aircraft was still docked at the Melbourne gate, prompting cabin crew and emergency personnel to respond swiftly.
Her friend Gurdip Grewal recounted to the media, "She struggled with her seatbelt as she boarded the plane. Right before the flight commenced, she collapsed in front of her seat, fell to the floor, and died immediately."
Media reports suggest that Ms. Kaur likely succumbed to tuberculosis, a lung-affecting infectious disease. Her roommate, Kuldeep, shared that Ms. Kaur balanced her studies in cookery with a job at Australia Post, nurturing a dream to become a chef someday.
Described as kind and honest by her roommate, Ms. Kaur enjoyed exploring Victoria with her friends. She was on her way to India to visit her parents, whom she hadn't seen since moving to Australia in March 2020.
A representative from Qantas conveyed their condolences, stating, "Our thoughts are with her family and loved ones during this difficult time."
QF69 was due to depart Melbourne at 9.30am but didn't get away until 4.10pm
THOUGHTS AND PRAYES GO OUT TO HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
