Man dies on Germany-bound flight after coughing blood from mouth, nose

A 63-year-old man died after coughing up “litres of blood” on a Lufthansa flight from Bangkok to Munich, it was reported. Karin Missfelder, a fellow passenger said that the man lost litres of blood through his mouth and nose and “it was absolute horror, everyone was screaming." “A young, around 30-year-old man from Poland with poor English looked at the German,” Karin Missfelder said, adding, “They then gave him a little chamomile tea, but he already spit blood into the bag that his wife held out to him." Despite this, flight officials decided to depart owing to which the man’s condition worsened and blood began gushing out of his mouth and nose, the passenger said. My wife “stood there all alone and apathetic and had to endure all the formalities”, he said, explaining, “The fact that Lufthansa has no measures in his case, that no one cares about around 30 traumatised passengers around, is unacceptable.” As per The Independent, a Lufthansa representative confirmed that “a medical emergency” had occurred on the flight and “although immediate and comprehensive first aid measures were taken by the crew and a doctor on board, the passenger died during the flight.
