Another air passenger dies on arrival

Mumbai: Death revisited the Mumbai airport for the fourth time this month on Sunday morning when an American passenger suffered a cardiac arrest minutes after arriving on a 15-hour, non-stop New York-Mumbai Delta Air Lines flight.
The death of 64-year-old George Neumann highlighted the risks associated with long, non-stop air travel.
It was the fourth incident of a passenger dying either en route to or after arriving at Sahar airport in the past fortnight. All the passengers were over 50 years of age.
Neumann turned blue within an hour of landing and was declared dead on arrival at Holy Spirit Hospital, Andheri (E). The post-mortem report did not state the cause of death and visceral analysis is awaited, but doctors who attended to Neumann said it appeared to be cardiac arrest.
Neumann was travelling alone and was on his way to Pune, where he worked for Emersons, a private company.
