Dad-to-be, 33, drops dead on Ryanair flight as his pregnant wife sitting at back of plane wasn’t told until they LANDED
A PASSENGER on board a Ryanair flight died mid-air as his pregnant sat oblivious to the horror ordeal at the back of the plane.
Dad-to-be Giuseppe Stilo, 33, received medical assistance from two trained passengers and the flight crew but sadly could not be saved.
Giuseppe Stilo and his wife Federica Marrella were seated at opposite ends of the plane, Giuseppe at the front and Federica at the back, due to the airline’s seat allocations.
The couple’s flight had taken off from Turin Airport, Italy at 11am on Wednesday when an alarm sounded just 15 minutes in.
Unbeknownst to Federica, who is five months pregnant, her husband Giuseppe had become unresponsive.
Two doctors on board the flight gave him CPR before the flight crew attempted to revive him using a defibrillator.
The flight headed back to the departure airport, landing at 11.35am, where emergency medics boarded the plane and administered Giuseppe adrenaline.
He sadly could not be saved.
Federica only learned of her husband’s death after arriving back in Turin, according to Torino Today.
She was reportedly taken to a nearby hospital in a state of shock.
The FR8780 flight was originally bound for Lamezia Terme International Airport.
Giuseppe, originally from Filogaso, worked at the Ferrero factory in Alba and lived with his wife, originally from Pizzo, in Cuneo.
