A Nigerian man died while aboard a Kenya Airways flight from Nairobi to Lagos after becoming unresponsive about 20 minutes before the aircraft landed at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
Kenya Airways confirmed the incident in a statement, saying its crew administered first aid to the passenger following the medical emergency.
“Upon landing at Murtala Muhammed International Airport at 21:41 hrs, the aircraft was met by medical personnel, and upon further examination, the medical personnel confirmed that the passenger had passed away,” the airline said.
A video has now emerged showing the passenger causing drama inside the plane moments before he passed away, as fellow passengers and crew members desperately tried to restrain him.
It is believed that he may have been suffering from pulmonary embolism, a condition caused by a blood clot blocking an artery in the lungs.
The condition can cause sudden anxiety, confusion and, in some cases, delirium.
