Tearful couple forced to sit next to dead passenger on long haul flight to Italy
Express UK ^ | 2/25/25 | Lauran O'Toole

The couple's once in a lifetime holiday was overshadowed when a woman died mid flight and was placed in the seat next to them.

An emotional Australian couple have been left "traumatised" after they were forced to sit next to a dead woman for hours after she died suddenly mid-flight.

Mitchell Ring and Jennifer Colin were on a Qatar Airways flight from Melbourne to Doha, en route to Venice in Italy, when a woman suddenly collapsed in the aisle after going to the toilet.

Do not all airlines have contingency plans for such an incident.

Been on a lot of long flights, and if the flight attendants put a dead person next to me, I would be crreped out.

“He said: “I can’t believe they told us to stay...It wasn’t nice.”

nobody wants to sit next to a dead body, but if a full grown man is brought to tears because if it, it’s time he turns in his man card.

I’ve been on flights where I would have much preferred to sit next to a dead person.

“nobody wants to sit next to a dead body, but if a full grown man is brought to tears because if it, it’s time he turns in his man card.”

Put the body in a window seat so you don’t have to climb over it and watch TV. It should have been the most polite person in an inside seat ever.

I would have been glad to sit next to a dead person after some of the flights that I have been on.

I’d be worried about them reanimating like in The Walking Dead.

I've seen an autopsy. I was a young kid just starting at a hospital where I worked for 20+ years. This experience allows me to at least begin to understand the distress this couple experienced.

I guess they couldn't just tie her up on top of the plane, like Aunt Edna.

Take it easy killer! :)

Not everyone is the same.

If he’s a good father and husband but is weak in some regards, it doesn’t make him not a man.

Me, it wouldn’t really faze me. It just is what it is.

But i’m a guy that cries at insurance commercials that show puppies sometimes so who am I to say? :)

That being said, yeah he should have been stronger for his wife.

As long as the corpse doesn’t smell or leak, who cares? At least there will be no passive-aggressive war over the arm-rest. When I get stuck in economy on overseas flights I usually wish I was dead.

Its not like it was a long dead corpse, fresh killed is probably not too bad as long as the bowels don’t release too much fluid.

I mean, I wouldn’t mind it that much, probably would be the quietist flight and I get to brag forever about the best passenger to fly next to, the dead body.

The couple can whine all they want but there’s no other place to put the dead passenger except back in their seat.
