SAD! Four-Month-Old Baby Dies On Flight From London To Hong Kong
A four-month-old baby girl died on a flight from
London to Hong Kong after a medical emergency
that forced the plane to divert to Kazakhstan. Her parents raised the alarm after finding their
daughter unconscious on a Cathay Pacific Airways
plane while flying to visit relatives in China. A passenger, who is a nurse, stepped in to give the
baby first aid as the pilot made an emergency
landing at Almaty Airport in Kazakhstan where
paramedics were on standby. However, the infant, named as Jasmine by Chinese
media, was confirmed dead at the airport on
Sunday. Her devastated parents made the torturous decision
to continue their journey to Hong Kong with their
daughter. Passengers said the parents were ’emotionally
distraught’ for the rest of the flight. The couple – a French father, 32, and a Chinese-
French mother, 36 – had been planning to take a
transfer flight to Changsha in China’s Hunan
province from Hong Kong to visit relatives. Preliminary tests by doctors from the Airport
Medical Centre and the Port Health Office in Hong
Kong found nothing suspicious, it was reported by
Apple Daily. The baby is believed to have suffered from a
gastrointestinal disorder before boarding the plane
at Heathrow and drank milk while on board.
