Man dies on Aer Lingus flight from Lisbon to Dublin
A 25-year-old man has died on an Aer Lingus flight from Lisbon to Dublin, according to the BBC.
A post-mortem examination is being carried out on his body at Cork University Hospital. It was reported that he bit another passenger during the two-hour flight and had to be restrained.
A woman in her 40s, who was also the flight, has been arrested on suspicion of drugs offences, but it is not clear if her arrest is connected to the man's death.
A doctor and a nurse treated the man after he became unwell and lost consciousness on the flight.
The captain declared a medical emergency and diverted the plane to Cork airport, landing shortly before 18:00 local time on Sunday.
About 170 passengers and crew members were taken from the aircraft and were interviewed by police about the incident. The woman who was arrested is being held at Togher police station in County Cork.
