Another possible thing to fear these days about flying, though an exceptionally rare incident.

Man dies on Dublin-bound flight 'after biting passenger' | World news | The Guardian

Quote:
A man has died on board an Aer Lingus flight bound for Dublin, Irish police said on Sunday night. The 24-year-old was reportedly restrained after becoming agitated and biting a man about halfway through the two-hour journey from Lisbon.

Police said they were investigating after the flight was diverted to Cork when the captain declared a “medical emergency”. According to an RTE report, the man became unwell and then fell unconscious after being restrained on the flight.

Sounds like a possible "first psychotic break." (Ie, schizophrenia) Or a stroke.

And/or whatever substance that woman got arrested for. PCP? Stimulants?

I know the Portigee have decriminalization drugs but I dint think they were exporting much.

Probably drugs.

The 24-year-old Brazilian is reported to have become agitated on the Aer Lingus flight before biting another passenger trying to help him.

A woman from Portugal, aged 44, was travelling with him and has been arrested under the Drug Trafficking Act.

It is alleged that 5lbs of suspected amphetamine powder was discovered in her suitcase.

Decriminalizing drugs isn't as benign as many think.

A possible scenario...........The male was a drug mule, with condoms filled with drugs in his digestive system.........one or more of them broke, he was dying of an overdose. Possible ?

The embedded link within the link says a Portugese woman on this flight was arrested when Police found substance in her luggage.

The biter was from Bazil.

The drug mule theory may not be far off reality.
