The “popular” flight attendant failed to show up for the crew’s return flight to London’s Heathrow Airport following 48 hours in SF, according to a report in The Independent.

The other crew members on the flight were reportedly too distraught to continue and the flight was canceled.

Before the crew member was discovered dead, the pilots left the hotel for San Francisco International Airport. Cabin crew and inflight managers waited for him in the hotel reception, reportedly.

When he failed to turn up, they went up to his room and discovered he was deceased. According to The Independent, it’s believed his body lay in the room undiscovered for two days.

I’ve had friends and family work for the airlines (all pilots) and the stories I’ve been told by them would make your hair curl.

Male flight attendant? San Francisco? We're going to need more clues.

You left out “popular” .

[ansel12]

Also ‘found dead’, and ‘hotel room’, along with what you guys mentioned.

[HIDEK6]

The part I don’t get is why would they cancel the flight home?

[bigbob]

Geez, they always say a short layover won’t kill ya, but...

[vivenne]

Generally, what do the stories reference?

[packrat35]

You forgot “popular” yet wasn’t noticed missing for 2 days...

Happens more often than you might think.
My neighbor’s wife died while on a business trip to DC.
Another was a fellow employee with my company.

My money is on fentanyl in his coke.

Is that a homosexual thing? Dunno.

[ansel12]

LOL, I also noticed the word popular and saw it as another slight hint of homosexual, but chose not to mention it.
