Tragic Turn: Passenger Boards Alive, Dies Upon Landing
A tragic incident occurred on a LATAM flight to the southern Chilean city of Punta Arenas, where a 59-year-old British tourist passed away while landing at Carlos Ibanez del Campo Airport. The man reportedly showed no signs of illness before his sudden death, prompting homicide police to investigate the situation.
Diego Díaz, Deputy Commissioner of the specialized unit, confirmed the man’s death and stated that there was no evidence of criminal activity surrounding the incident. The man’s wife, who was sitting next to him, mentioned that his death could have been caused by various health issues.
Local prosecutors have instructed Punta Arenas Homicide Detectives to conduct an autopsy on the British tourist to determine the exact cause of death, whether it was natural or otherwise. The investigation continues as authorities work to shed light on this tragic event that occurred mid-flight.
