Couple Forced To Sit Next To A Dead Body For 14 Hours: Qatar Airways Defends Crew

March 1, 2025, 7:26 am

Qatar Airways has come under scrutiny after a passenger death on a 14-hour flight from Melbourne to Doha sparked outrage. The airline has now defended its crew’s actions, stating that they acted “quickly, appropriately and professionally” during the incident.

Incident Overview

On a long-haul flight, a woman passed away unexpectedly, and her body was left onboard for a portion of the journey. According to reports, the deceased passenger was covered in blankets and remained seated next to a male passenger for approximately four hours until the flight landed in Doha. This arrangement was reportedly made after the cabin crew requested that the male passenger move over so that the deceased could be placed in his seat.

Airline’s Response and Investigation

In a statement to the BBC, Qatar Airways explained that an internal review confirmed the crew’s handling of the situation was in line with both training protocols and industry standards. The airline emphasized that such incidents, though rare, are an “unfortunate reality” in aviation. “Our crew are highly trained to deal with these situations with as much respect and dignity as possible,” the statement read. Qatar Airways also confirmed that support and compensation have been offered to the deceased’s family and other passengers directly affected by the event.

The airline further clarified, “Passengers were accommodated to other seats, and a crew member remained with the deceased passenger for the duration of the flight until landing in Doha.” This measure, according to the carrier, was taken to ensure that the situation was managed with the utmost care.

Passenger Accounts

The incident has left a lasting impact on some of the passengers. Mitchell Ring and Jennifer Colin, a couple who were on the flight, spoke to Australia’s Channel Nine about the traumatic experience. Mr. Ring recalled that he was asked to move over to accommodate the deceased, and despite vacant seats being available, he was not offered an alternative. “We totally understand that we can’t hold the airline responsible for the poor lady’s death, but surely there has to be a protocol to look after the customers on board,” said Ms. Colin.

Mr. Ring described the post-landing scene as harrowing. He recounted how passengers were instructed to remain seated while medical staff and police arrived. “I can’t believe they told us to stay,” he said, adding that he expected to be allowed to disembark before the arrival of emergency personnel. Both Mr. Ring and Ms. Colin expressed frustration over the lack of immediate support and follow-up care for passengers affected by the incident.

Ongoing Debate Over Duty of Care

Critics argue that airlines have a duty of care towards their passengers that extends beyond simply managing an in-flight emergency. Mr. Ring stressed, “They have a duty of care towards their customers as well as their staff. We should be contacted to make sure, do you need some support, do you need some counseling?” These remarks underscore a broader debate about the protocols airlines should follow in the wake of such distressing events.

While Qatar Airways maintains that its crew’s actions were in full compliance with established procedures, the incident has sparked an important conversation about passenger care during in-flight emergencies. As investigations continue and more details emerge, the airline’s commitment to improving its support protocols remains a foc

Dead Man’s Eye Missing in Patna Hospital, Doctors Claim Rats Ate It

November 18, 2024, 1:59 pm

After Fantus Kumar, a man from Patna, died from a bullet injury, his left eye went missing while his body lay in the hospital. The grieving family suspected that someone at the hospital had taken the eye, but doctors attributed the disappearance to rats.

Kumar was rushed to Nalanda Medical College and Hospital (NMCH) on Thursday after suffering a gunshot wound to his abdomen. He was admitted to the ICU, where he passed away the following night. His family, who stayed by his side, left the hospital around 1 am, and upon returning hours later, they discovered that his left eye was gone.

Kumar’s brother-in-law expressed outrage, saying, “How can they be so negligent? Either someone from the hospital conspired with the people who shot him or the hospital is involved in some business of taking people’s eyes out.”

The hospital’s medical superintendent, Dr. Vinod Kumar Singh, confirmed that an investigation is underway, though he suggested that rats could be responsible for the missing eye. “Fantus Kumar was admitted after a firearm injury, and the bullet was removed. He died at 8:55 pm on Friday. His family stayed with him until 1 am, and they informed us at 5 am that his left eye was missing. We are looking into the matter. An FIR has been filed.”

Dr. Singh acknowledged the shocking nature of the incident but said a post-mortem examination would determine the cause. He added, “The possibility of rats biting off the eye cannot be ignored. We will wait for the post-mortem report. This is not acceptable, and anyone found guilty of negligence will be punished.”

Regarding the family’s accusations that the hospital had taken the eye for a possible corneal transplant, Singh explained, “Taking the eye out for transplant wouldn’t make sense. The eye can only be used if it’s surgically removed within four to six hours of death.”

Family Of Slain Hamas Hostage Shares Shocking Video Of Abuse In Gaza

August 4, 2024, 1:21 pm

The grieving family of Eitan Levi, a slain Hamas hostage, has released a disturbing video showing civilians in Gaza kicking and abusing his corpse on the streets. The footage, initially shared on Instagram by user Yoseph Haddad, captures the brutal treatment Levi’s body endured after his kidnapping and murder.

The video, captioned by Haddad, reads, “This is a shocking video from October 7 of the kidnapping of Eitan Levy, who was murdered and kidnapped to Gaza where his body was brutally lynched in the plaza of a mosque! These are the ‘innocent civilians of Gaza!’ 43 weeks have passed but we won’t forgive or forget for a moment!!! Eitan and all the hostages must be returned and every single one of these purveyors of death must be destroyed.”

The graphic footage shows Levi’s body being dragged into Gaza in the back of a vehicle, followed by a mob of Gazans chasing the car and stomping on his lifeless body.

Levi, 52, was a taxi driver from Bat Yam who was at Kibbutz Be’eri to drop off a passenger on October 7 last year when Hamas attacked Israel. While the exact circumstances of his death remain unclear, his family believes that Hamas terrorists either prevented him from leaving or his cab was hit by a drone or missile. In December, Hamas confirmed Levi’s death, and it is believed that Hamas terrorists still possess his body.

The release of the video has sparked outrage and horror among viewers. Comments on the video reflect the widespread shock and condemnation of the act. One user remarked, “Kicking a dead body has to be the most cowardly thing a man can do. So vile,” while another expressed support for Israel, stating, “Stand with Israel on its most rightful war against terror.” Others highlighted the inhumanity of the perpetrators, with one user commenting, “I still can’t understand the ‘glee’ these perpetrators exhibit when committing their crimes – it is without normal humanity of any kind and is sickening and sick.”

The brutal treatment of Levi’s body has been described by many as “horrific and unforgivable.” The family and supporters continue to call for the return of all hostages and for those responsible to be brought to justice.

Body Of A Mountain Climber Discovered In Peru After 22 Years

July 10, 2024, 5:06 pm

Police have found the well-preserved body of American mountaineer William Stampfl, who was buried by an avalanche 22 years ago while climbing Mount Huascarán in the Andes. The body was discovered in the Ancash region near a camp at 5,200 meters (17,060 ft) above sea level on Friday. Stampfl, 58, was identified through his climbing gear, driver’s license, and passport.

In 2002, Stampfl, a civil engineer born in Austria, was climbing with friends Matthew Richardson and Steve Erskine. Erskine’s body was found shortly after the avalanche, but Richardson remains missing. Stampfl’s body was brought down the mountain and placed in a morgue in Huaraz.

The discovery is part of a trend where melting glaciers, due to global warming, reveal bodies previously buried in ice. Edson Ramirez, a park ranger at Huascarán National Park, explained that the region’s glaciers have been retreating for about a decade, causing long-buried remains to surface.

Peru is home to about 68% of the world’s tropical glaciers, which are highly vulnerable to climate change. A government report indicated that Peru has lost 56% of its tropical glaciers over the last 60 years. Many of these glaciers are in the Cordillera Blanca, where Mount Huascarán is located, drawing thousands of climbers each year.

In a related incident, the body of an Israeli hiker was found in the same region in May, a month after he disappeared. This ongoing glacial melt continues to uncover long-hidden remains.

NDRF Retrieves Body Of 15-Year-Old From Narmada River In Gujarat

May 16, 2024, 3:30 pm

The body of a 15-year-old boy, identified as Maitraksh Baldaniya, was found in the Narmada River at Poicha in Gujarat’s Narmada district on Thursday morning, officials confirmed. Maitraksh, the son of Bharat Bhai Baldaniya from Saniya Hemad, Surat, had been at Poicha for a picnic with a group from Surat when the tragic incident occurred.

The authorities handed over Maitraksh’s body to the civil police. This brings the total number of bodies recovered from the river to six. Among the other victims are Braj Himmatbhai Baldaniya (11), Bhargav Ashokbai Hadia (15), and Bhavesh Vallabhbhai Hadia (15). Two bodies remain unidentified.

The incident took place on May 14 when seven members of a family, including minors, were swept away by the river’s current at Poicha. Following the incident, a search operation was launched by a unit of the 6BN National Disaster Relief Force from Jarod in Vadodara district. Local divers from the National Disaster Rescue Force (NDRF) and the Vadodara fire team also participated in the search efforts.

Poicha is a popular destination for summer picnics and swimming in the Narmada River. Recently, the Narmada district administration imposed a ban on local boat operators from operating without a license in the river.

Body Of Alexei Navalny Found In a Morgue, says reports

February 19, 2024, 2:11 pm

Body of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was allegedly discovered in a morgue several days after it was reported missing. An unnamed paramedic told an independent news outlet that the body showed traces of bruising.

The paramedic said the bodies of those who die in prison are usually taken straight to the Foreign Medicine Bureau, “but his body was taken to a clinical hospital for some reason.” The “bruises” on his body resembled marks that one suffers when being held down during a seizure, he added.

Alexei Navalny, a staunch adversary of President Vladimir Putin, died in the remote Arctic prison colony while serving a 19-year sentence. He went for a walk and was unable to be revived after losing consciousness, according to jail officials.

Lyudmila, his mother, was informed by prison officials that he died of “sudden death syndrome”. Lyudmila and Navalny’s lawyer arrived at the prison on Saturday, but were denied access to his body. They were told that his remains could not be given over until an investigation was completed.

His supporters have accused Russian authorities of murdering him and said that they are refusing to hand over the body to “cover their tracks”.

Navalny’s wife, Yulia Navalnaya, has previously stated that she was skeptical of the news of her husband’s death because it originated from Russian government sources.

The death of Alexei Navalny sparked Western indignation and condemnation, with US President Joe Biden calling Putin “responsible for Navalny’s death”.

Authorities revealed on Wednesday that the body of a 35-year-old woman who went missing earlier this month was recovered from a garbage disposal hole in a house compound in Kerala’s Malappuram.

According to police, a missing person complaint was filed on August 11, the same day of the murder. During the investigation, authorities stated that “a big conspiracy hatched to carry out the murder” came to light.

“Her body was found inside the house of a man named Vishnu who was working at a panchayat office in the same building where the victim also worked,” said Sujith Das, Superintendent of Police, Malappuram.

The accused and the victim were known to each other. “The motive behind the murder is not clear,” the Malappuram SP said.

“During our probe, we checked the call details of the suspect. The accused Vishnu was put under scanner after it was revealed that the accused had recently mortgaged some jewelry, the police official said.

The accused was arrested and, after extensive questioning, confessed to the crime, acknowledging the involvement of his two brothers and one of their acquaintances. “His father knew about the crime. After murdering her, they stole her jewelry. It was all done on the morning of August 11,” Malappuram SP said.

“They dumped the body in a waste disposal pit in the compound of the house of accused Vishnu at night. To erase the evidence and to prevent a foul smell from emanating, they topped the pit with metals and bricks,” the police official said.

In an unfortunate incident, the body of a woman stuffed in a suitcase was found on the Yamuna Expressway service road on Friday afternoon according to the Mathura Police.

There were many marks on the girl’s body, including bullet marks on her chest, he informed. He added, “After killing the girl elsewhere, the body was thrown in the Raya area.”

Reports say that the woman was 25 years old and the bag was thrown away in a secluded area.
“The body of a 25-year-old woman was found in a suitcase thrown away in a secluded area. Prima facie, it looks like the girl was killed elsewhere and disposed of here to hide facts of the murder,” Circle Officer (CO) Mahavan, Alok Kumar said.

This news comes after a spine chilling incident happened in Delhi where the partner killed the woman and chopped her into pieces and kept the body in the refrigerator.
Such crime cases against the women are increasing day by day.
