The body of a passenger who died during an international flight to San Francisco, prompting the aircraft to divert to Chicago, is reportedly unaccounted for, according to reporting by SFGATE.
Neither airport officials nor a representative for the airline would comment on the circumstances surrounding the death and declined to confirm the passenger’s identity, nationality and gender, the outlet reported.
The passenger’s body would presumably then be under the jurisdiction of the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office, though Natalia Derevyanny, a spokesperson for the department, told SFGATE that there was no record of the deceased passenger or of any case matching that description.
According to flight tracking website FlightAware, TK Flight 79 left Istanbul on July 13 and while the Airbus A350-941 was over Greenland when the passenger “suffered a severe medical emergency,” according to the aviation blog Aviation A2Z.
Initially, the crew prepared to divert to Keflavik Airport in Iceland, though the passenger’s condition reportedly worsened, resulting in their death.

Paging Harrison Ford..
That bugs me to no end. But I think TPTB have actually sanctioned it. Using "his" is sexist, and "his or her" is just too cumbersome.

In the olden days AKA the days of common sense either he/his or they/their was used to mean any individual...

“Initially, the crew prepared to divert to Keflavik Airport in Iceland, though the passenger’s condition reportedly worsened, resulting in their death.”
The headline implies it was only one person that died?

Yes. He’s going around in circles and circles on the baggage conveyor in a terminal on the other side of the airport.
