A British passenger has died of a suspected heart attack on a TAP Air Portugal flight from London to Lisbon.

The TAP Air Portugal flight from London to Lisbon made an emergency landing in Spain after the patient was found to be unconscious.

The pilot was forced to make an emergency landing at Santiago de Compostela Airport in Spain’s northwestern Galicia region.

Staff at the airport notified the emergency services and paramedics were dispatched to the scene before the plane touched down.

After the flight landed, the medical staff tried to revive the man, but their efforts were in vain and he was pronounced dead at around 9.30pm on Friday (May 6).
