An old person died on a Kenya Airways plane traveling from New York to Nairobi last Friday. The passengers fell ill during the flight before medical help could save them. The flight crew told airline officials about the collapse at 8:40 AM Nairobi time. Three medical experts who happened to be passengers helped the crew use emergency equipment to try to save the person's life. The pilot turned toward Entebbe airport, hoping to land quickly for better medical care.

Despite everyone's efforts to revive the passenger, doctors confirmed death at 9:10 AM, before the plane landed. The flight continued to Nairobi after the death was confirmed, following standard flight safety rules. When the aircraft landed at 10:27 AM, medical staff, security teams, and government officials met them to handle the situation properly. Kenya Airways said they're working with the dead passenger's family and authorities to find the cause of death.

Deaths during flights don't happen often, but they do occur. Medical research shows that about one in every 600 flights has some kind of medical emergency. Around 44,000 medical problems happen on planes worldwide each year, with about 130 people dying. The airline kept the passenger's name private out of respect for their family.
