An airline traveler has spoken of his shock after cabin crew sat him next to the body of a fellow passenger who had died during the flight. The female passenger collapsed in the aisle beside Mitchell Ring and his partner Jennifer Colin during their Qatar Airways flight from Melbourne to Doha,

They said, ‘can you move over please’ and I just said, ‘yes, no problem'. Then they placed the lady in the chair I was in.” Ring recalled.

Mitchell Ring and Jennifer Colin were initially pleased to find empty seats on their Qatar Airways flight. However, their relief quickly turned to horror when a woman collapsed shortly after leaving the bathroom.
