He was vomiting in his seat and died sometime before the plane landed around 6 a.m., the source said. The crew contacted the CDC, whose officials boarded the plane as about 145 worried passengers remained on board, a federal law enforcement source said.
“The door [to the terminal] was left open, which a lot of the first responders found alarming,” said the source.
“The CDC went on the plane, examined the dead body and said the person did not have Ebola,” King told The Post.

Dallas hospital that treated three Ebola patients had machine that can detect disease in just minutes ...but couldn’t use it because it wasn’t FDA approved
BioFire Diagnostics, a Utah-based firm that produces disease detection technology, confirmed that the Dallas Presbyterian Hospital did in fact have one of the machines (possibly for as long as two years) sitting on the shelf when Duncan came in.
But unless hospitals agree to use the machine specifically for research purposes, rather than actually diagnosing patients with Ebola, they can’t look for Ebola in samples.
The FDA rules in what are called “research use only” machines are far more lax than for machines that must provide clinical diagnosis. According to representatives from BioFire, even after the FDA approved the use of the machine for Ebola screening and allowed workers at the hospital to acquire the proper kit for Ebola testing, a 10-20 day “validation” procedure would kick in before they could change the machine’s use from diagnostics to research — and the results would have to go to the Centers for Disease Control for confirmation.

Exactly..., but without a follow-up, the story reeks!
Airline has his name and other data. Is the death of a US citizen passenger on a commercial airline privileged info?
What did Port Authority do with the body? Next of kin have no say? If no kin in US, does State Dept get involved?
Even *without* the consideration of ebola, what is the protocol re the death of a US citizen on a commercial airline? Is the airline obligated to disclose NO identifying data?
Is no journalist curious about this event?
