I was talking to a passenger in the PC who talked about how she once flew next to a passenger who passed away during flight. Despite the tragedy, she said the flight was relatively uneventful. An ambulance met the plane at its scheduled destination and the passenger was removed by the medics.

In the Houston Chronicle article about CO's pet mishap, covered in another thread, it mentions that over 8,500 pets were transported ..and unfortunately, 1 died in June. However, CO transports far more humans ...and I'd imagine people are just as fragile as pets sometimes... with deaths from time to time.

I've never had a death on a flight (although I have had medical emergencies) --have you?
