A passenger on a Ryanair flight to Manchester experienced a medical issue in midair and subsequently passed away on board, forcing the airline to make an emergency landing in London.
After "chaos" broke out in the cabin, flight RK8293 from Tirana, Albania to Manchester landed at Stansted Airport on Sunday night, November 10.
The Ryanair flight was supposed to land in the northern city at 8.10 p.m., but a medical issue forced the jet to change its course just before 8 p.m., according to FlightRadar.

According to a wrongful death lawsuit his brother filed in Brooklyn federal court, Shimon Breuer, 25, started having trouble breathing about an hour before the plane was scheduled to land last year.
Breuer "gasped for air" and "begged for help" in a panic, but the cabin staff "failed to provide… prompt and proper medical attention," which is how he died, according to the report.
