Man dies aboard Aer Lingus flight
after biting passenger

In a bizarre incident Sunday, a 24 year old man
who was "running amok" on an Aer Lingus flight
from Lisbon, Portugal to Dublin, Ireland died
aboard the plane.
According to the Irish Mirror, the man was acting
violent on the flight and tried to bite at least one
fellow passenger. A pilot told controllers the man
had "injured one or two passengers," according
to the paper.
The man was reportedly restrained by crew
members but fell unconscious, and was later
declared dead.
The plane was forced to make an emergency
landing in Cork, Ireland. The Mirror says all 168
passengers and crew members were taken off
the flight. At least one passenger was taken to a
local hospital and treated for injuries.
After he was taken off the plane, a number of
'packages' were recovered from the man's body.
An autopsy on the Brazilian's body has been
completed and the packages have been sent for
forensic analysis.
John Leonard who was travelling on flight EI-485
when the incident happened said:
"He was actually on the ground shaking
violently. The noise he was making was
like something I have never heard before.
It's not something you'd hear everyday. It
was like deep anguish is the best way I
could describe it, very, very troubled. Not
screaming in a sense, you know if you'd
hurt yourself or something, just very
guttural, from deep within him."
He said: "To die that way in the back of an
aeroplane, it's not right. "It was not very
pleasant at all, it was a "very violent
end".."
