‘Unbearable’ smelling passenger that caused plane’s emergency landing dies from tissue necrosis
fox ndws ^ | By Alexandra Deabler |

The male passenger, now identified as Russian rock musician Andrey Suchilin, allegedly smelled so strongly that others on the flight began fainting and vomiting once the plane took off from Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands. Several passengers said the smell was “unbearable” and the man was “unwashed.”

The 58-year-old reportedly had contracted an infection while on vacation in the Canary Islands that caused his body tissue to die, resulting in the odor.

As Daily Mail reported, Suchilin caught the infection in Gran Canaria. Suchilin’s wife, Lidia, wrote on Facebook, Newsweek reported, that her husband had sought medical attention before leaving Spain, but was told it was just an “ordinary beach infection” and given antibiotics. His condition worsened on the flight to Amsterdam.

A squirrel that leaped into my lawn mower left a near-gag worthy smell immediately.

they allow smelly dogs and pigs on planes but smelly humans are a no go...

It wasn't run of the mill BO. People were vomiting. If your dog smells so bad that he makes people vomit I'd bet they wouldn't let him fly either.

I think the cabin air is recycled and widely distributed; the longer, the worse it gets. Someone who serves as crew please tell me if this is wrong.

Are these bacteria airborne?

Once my six-hour transatlantic flight served lamb early on, and the whole plane was rank with the smell of it for the whole flight. I could taste sheep in everyhing I ate for three days afterward. Spoiled my whole trip to Paris and Dijon.

Think of what this kind of effect must have meant to the passengers and attendants of the situation in the article we are reading about.

Alas, one problem we see is a minor problem, and treat it, but then it gets worse, and people figure they are being treated so dont go back to the ER...
This can be fatal for things like toxic shock syndrome, meningitis, flesh eating bacteria etc which early on look like some thing minor but then get worse

Wonder if it was Shewanella.

Let's hear it for socialized medicine and open borders.

Problem with his condition is that everything on the outside looks good...one symptom could be a deep pain in the necrosing tissue....I have a feeling that becuz he was on vacation he neglected to do intense followup. Very sad...we always think that bacterial infections will be controlled...but deep tissue infection can run away on us.

He did. Socialized medicine country. They said it was no big deal and gave him some (clearly ineffective) antibiotics.

I’ve smelled this smell; it’s hideous. As I’ve gotten older my sense of smell is less acute, so occasionally that’s good. Poor man.
I was on a mission trip and saw a necrotic leg - other ppl were gagging and having to walk outside for air but I was fine.

Makes you wonder if it was Vibrio.

wonder how those passengers who complained feel now, this "smelly " passenger actually dying...

They probably feel even more justified in complaining. It wasn't mere B.O. - it was a highly dangerous disease! The fact its necrosis, not dirty underwear, isn't going to make the smell any better.

I can’t fault the passengers. If the smell was making people vomit, in a closed tube with pressurized air, that is saying a lot.

I suspect that the seats in a wide radius around that person probably were empty, and people were huddling in the back and front of the plane with wet facecloths over their mouths and noses.

I feel sympathy for the guy, but...he should have never been on that plane like that, IMO.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water.

I once had to clean up a dead raccoon after a 4th of july weekend. it had electrocuted himself inside a 4kv breaker and sat there for 2-3 days in 100+ degree heat. We had to use air feed respirators . scrape scrape scrape. puke , scrape. So yes it can be bad.seems the airline should have stopped him at the gate. I doubt that smell suddenly showed up.

In the past few months we’ve learned that public pools have a much larger amount of e-coli bacteria than thought and now we see that many natural bodies of water have dangerous germs that can kill you. Is there any place left where you can safely swim?

I have never known a dog - even a wet one - to smell as bad a rotting flesh.

He had avascular necrosis caused by lack of blood supply to the hip. It can be caused by an injury. Steroids are also notorious for causing it

In Rugby and Aussie football they do it without the pads, too.
