Interesting that the cause of death was now determined to be something else for the one person...(the originally meng. one).
They said typically 6-7 die a year on BA flights...bad way to start this year with two on one flight...
Be curious to see what else comes out over the next days or weeks...at least something else should come out with the final death report...interesting that no one on the flights seems to have spoken publically...
Cause of death determined for passenger on a flight from Miami

The cause of death of the male passenger who died onboard a British Airways flight from Miami to London was ''broncopneumonia, contributed to by carcinoma of the right kidney,'' an autopsy performed in London has revealed, a Scotland Yard spokeswoman said Tuesday.
Previously, the 56-year-old man, whose name and nationality have not been disclosed, was suspected to have died of meningitis.
Larry Cameron, spokesman for the Miami-Dade Medical Examiner's Office, said it is unlikely that spinal meningitis would be connected with broncopneumonia and carninoma of the kidney.
The man was one of three passengers who died onboard flights that departed last weekend from Miami to Heathrow airport. Patricia Grant, 59- or 60-year-old woman, also died on British Airways Flight 208 that departed Miami at 8:35 p.m. Saturday. The plane was diverted to Halifax, Nova Scotia, after she suffered a heart attack. She died of cardiac arrest, according to Joe Taplin of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Halifax.
In addition, a 19-year-old British woman died onboard Virgin Atlantic Flight 6, which departed Miami en route to Heathrow on Sunday. That autopsy is still pending, the Scotland Yard spokeswoman said.
British Airways spokeswoman Honor Verrier said that on average no more than six or seven passengers die due to medical causes each year onboard the airline.
