Swiss(?) Biz Class pax hangs himself in lavatory on BA - LHR-LAX flight
http://www.thisislondon.com/news/art...ing%20Standard
A passenger hanged himself in a club-class lavatory on a transatlantic flight after enjoying a final meal with champagne.
Fellow travellers watched in horror as a doctor flying on the Heathrow to Los Angeles British Airways jumbo jet tried to save the man.
The middle-aged passenger, believed to be Swiss, killed himself after tying his belt around a handle designed for the disabled.
Cabin crew forced their way into the lavatory after the door had been locked for up to half an hour and there was no answer to their knocking.

Probably the Julia Roberts film festival...
Oh, wait. He was on BA, not UA...

Perhaps his seatmate had a drinking problem?
