“the crew injected him with the sedative Haloperidol and used three cans of pepper spray.”
****************************
While 33 drinks is extreme it’s unlikely enough by itself to kill him. Back in the day I’ve drank that much myself upon occasion. Haloperidol is a potent anti-psychotic which contributes to respiratory depression and that along with the 3 cans of pepper spray and the crew piling on him is what killed him so I expect the family to win the lawsuit.
What else are you supposed to do with an unruly, drunk and psychotic passenger? He is a danger to other passengers and crew. Plus I doubt it was a room steward that injected him. They have a full medical crew on-board. Would love to see his bloodwork. No doubt their actions contributed to his death, but so did he. He may have had a bad heart, he was obese too. I hope RC fights this, personal responsibility has gone out the window.
