Newsman: An Australian couple said they were forced to sit next to the woman’s body about 10 hours into their 14-hour flight from Melbourne to Doha. The couple told Australian media that the woman collapsed and died last week about 10 hours into their 14-hour flight from Melbourne to Doha.
The Australian couple, Mitchell Ring and Jennifer Colin, who were heading to Venice on holiday, said that after placing the body next to them, the flight crew would not let them change seats for the rest of the flight and asked them to remain seated as medical staffers addressed the body upon landing.
The couple said they felt they had not received enough support from the airline.
“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,” Ring told the Australian news program “A Current Affair” on Sunday.
