Air travelers are reacting with shock after a dead passenger’s body was reportedly stored in a heated galley for more than 13 hours on a long-haul flight, according to reports.
A woman in her 60s died about an hour after takeoff on British Airways Flight BA32 from Hong Kong to London last Sunday, but the pilots continued on to Heathrow Airport instead of turning back, The Sun reported.
A source told the outlet that the Airbus A350-1000’s galley had a heated floor, and by the end of the flight "there were claims that a foul smell was present" in that area.
"Obviously, the family with the woman were distraught, and so were the crew," the source said. "Many wanted to return to Hong Kong. But, to put it bluntly, if a passenger has already died, that is not viewed as an emergency."

“It’s only yesterday’s Grapefruit Ma’am, and a few aged Truffles. The Janitors Union is On Strike. You haven’t heard about it yet?
We DO apologize for the inconveniance!”
They don’t have a refrigerator onboard they could cut her up and put in?
“Yes, yes, I remember, I had lasagna.
British Airways is awful. We’ve flown them several times. They are down there with US based airlines, actually worse in a lot of ways.
Fridge not big enough. There would be no room left for the crew’s Keto health drinks.
The cause was probably her bowels emptying.
She was from India so makes sense.
I hate dead passenger flights.
Coffer: No, no, no! These boys'll start goin' ripe on us before too long!
Did they pass our parachutes?
Or just pass out?
My sister works for a major international airline. I asked her if passengers ever die on flights. She replied, “All the time.”
