I was on a TCX flight Gatwick to Dalaman as a passenger, and an old guy passed out obviously very ill.The crew and a nurse helped him,but he then took a massive heart attack.The crew/nurse started CPR and we diverted to Izmir.After landing the Turkish doctor and paramedics worked on him for 50 mins in the aisle but couldn't save him.Eventually they removed the corpse to an ambulance,and after a lot of paperwork we carried on to Dalaman.The dead guys wife stayed on the aircraft as she was being met by her family.
The TCX crew and nurse did a superb job trying to save him,but everyone was just in shock.A very upsetting experience for everyone.
