Re BA, good job! Have had two too.. ( no, not careless ) Not everyone will accept a body, not this side of the sahara anyway far as I know. Also repatriation of said body an issue depending on who operates there. Would say either departure point or destination appropriate unless sure of your reception. People do just keel over... pilots too, and dead is dead, doctor or not! For a deteriorating condition then a diversion of course, though again I'd be aware that an adequate a/port doesn't necessarily mean adequate medical care. How well do operators check their en route alternates for actual facilities rather than those listed? On that note, for those of us in this bit of the world, any contacts/info on medilink and how they operate? Must admit never heard of them, but sounds hugely usefull.
