I am not quite understanding the posting in this forum:

1) Not sure passenger died
2) Not sure of symptoms prior to losing consciousness
3) Not sure it's COVID-19 related


I do agree that the airline has a responsibility to inform pax if this is indeed COVID-19 related though...
It's not an *assumption* that this is Coronavirus related; given the circumstances, it's a reasonable possibility that this is Coronavirus related and something worth considering. And it's reasonable for me -- and any pax on board and the public at large -- to want the truth from LATAM. And LATAM won't provide me with any information. Health officials ought to know about this as well.

The reason for my posting this on FT is to make this publicly known and to try to get advice from other FTers on how to get to the bottom of this.
