11-month-old boy dies onboard Qatar Airways flight to Hyderabad
HYDERABAD: An 11-month-old boy died onboard a Doha-Hyderabad Qatar Airways flight, QR 500, that arrived at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) at around 2.05am on Wednesday.
“While it isn’t possible to ascertain the actual cause of death, before the post mortem examination report is filed, preliminary investigations hint at the possibility of the child developing some complication while being fed onboard the aircraft,” said a source in the know of things adding that Qatar Airways is expected to issue a statement on the incident later in the day.
Meanwhile, as per the report issued by medical officer at the centre, Dr Sindhu K, Arnav was brought dead to the centre at 2.29 am. The family, the report states, are residents of Raja Nagar in Moula Ali.
In August this year, a similar case was reported from the city when an Indigo flight from Bengaluru to Patna was diverted to RGIA after a four-month-old boy developed health complications mid-air. The boy was declared brought dead by the Apollo centre and doctors attending to him had noticed slight bleeding from the nose.
