One passenger even claimed to have heard one of the group tell the clerk: 'It's OK, we're doctors'.
EasyJet today insisted that the concerned passengers were wrong, the passenger had a fit to fly certificate - and was alive when she boarded the plane.
'I know it's not funny because somebody did actually die, but easyJet ground staff actually allowed someone that looked completely dead onto the plane and then funnily enough, just as we were about to take off, they died.
'Called back to the terminal, whole flight cancelled, everybody pulled off the plane.
'They wouldn't let you on if you were drunk but apparently, it's OK if you're dead and you look dead, and she really looked like she was dead, in a chair, being pushed by her family.
'And apparently the family were questioned by the ground staff and said she was absolutely fine. She was not absolutely fine.
'Everybody that she went past went like, 'Oh my God, she looks dead', and she was dead. So, easyJet, you should be ashamed of yourselves, your ground staff were appalling today.'
An elderly British passenger was wheeled onto an easyJet flight from Spain to Gatwick when she was already dead, horrified holidaymakers have claimed.
The 89-year-old was helped on board the aircraft by five of her relatives who, witnesses say, told airline staff she was unwell and had fallen asleep.
Fellow passengers told how the body had been pushed by a wheelchair to the group's seats at the rear of the aircraft and lifted into her seat, assisted by five members of her family.
They claimed the group had only been permitted to get onto the plane because they told a boarding clerk, who had questioned the woman's apparent ill health, that she was 'just tired'.

Airlines should be sued for cardiopulmonary cessation discrimination. You shouldn’t lose your Constitutional right to travel just because you are dead.
Thank you for posting this link.

I clicked on this thread just to see how long it would take for post 14 to show up. I’m surprised there were so many other things referenced before that.
SHADES OF “WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S”
The international bureaucratic complications of dying in a foreign country and getting the body back home where they want to be buried. The family was wrong, and a comedy movie could be written about their efforts, sincere, but wrong.
I am here looking for this. I was not disappointed! Ha Ha.
How’d they get a corpse through security?
She’s a heavy sleeper
They might have gotten away with it if they could have stuffed her into the overhead storage bins before they were caught.
No, but he sure tried.
Did she have a ticket? If so, where’s the problem? /s
Cremation is considerably cheaper.
“Cremation is considerably cheaper.”
My guess is that everyone in the family had been buried, as a body, in a family plot. (Queue “Fiddler On The Roof” TRADITION!) Or these people are dumb as bricks. I’m tending towards the building material answer.
Same way as everyone else. Carrion luggage.
“Carrion luggage.”
Most excellent!
,,, I wondered how long it would be before a Monty Python comment would surface LOL!
😁😆😅😂🤣
That way, who would ever suspect?
They could slip a corpse right on though, right under everyone’s uh...
nose.
Guess they really didn’t think that one through after all.
Ya try this when you really want to make sure the coffin doesn’t get lost in the luggage handling system. Their mistake was in bringing along all the floral arrangements from the service.
