Exclamation 3 DIE on MIA-LHR

THREE DIE ON US FLIGHTS

Another air passenger has died on a flight from Miami to Heathrow - the third in two days.


The 19-year-old died on the Virgin Atlantic flight shortly before landing and was pronounced dead on arrival at the London airport.

The flight crew and a doctor were unable to revive her.

The cause of death is not known.

It follows the deaths on Sunday of two passengers who were also travelling on a flight from Miami.

A female passenger fell ill on British Airways flight BA208 and the aircraft was diverted to Nova Scotia, Canada, so she could receive emergency treatment.

She died of a suspected heart attack.

A male passenger became ill after the flight resumed and died shortly before arriving at Heathrow.

He is though to have contracted viral meningitis.

A BA spokesman said the deaths were not linked.
