Red face tragic

Agree it is a very sad and tragic situation; also agree it is very unusual for such a young child to die in flight. In older adults there are regular occurrences of deaths in flight, MI's, PE's, CVA's, asthma, aneurysms etc etc.

If she had been treated in hospital prior to departure, makes me wonder if she was still much iller than anyone realised - begging the question of whether she should have been allowed to board in the first place.

Will be very interesting to hear PM result in due course.
