An Australian said the body of a dead passenger was placed next to them on a Qatar Airways flight during 4 hours.
An Australian couple, who was travelling to Venice for holiday, a woman had died in the aisle beside them during the flight from Melbourne to Doha, BBC reports.
Flight attendants responded “in no time” when the woman collapsed, but that “unfortunately the lady couldn’t be saved, which was pretty heart-breaking to watch”.
The cabin crew had tried to move her body towards business class “but she was quite a large lady and they couldn’t get her through the aisle”.
Her corpse, covered in blankets, was next to them for the remaining four hours of the flight without offering them to move, despite there being empty seats.
When the plane landed four hours later, passengers were asked to stay while medical staff and police came on board.
Ambulance officers had then started pulling blankets off the woman to remove the body.
