Man dies at airport in the Canary Islands

A British man died at Lanzarote airport shortly after arriving on a Jet2 flight.

A tragic incident occurred at Lanzarote Airport on Thursday when a British man was pronounced dead shortly after the Jet2 flight landed on the island. Reports indicate that the man collapsed in the waiting area while queuing to proceed to passport control, less than thirty minutes after disembarking from the aircraft. Emergency services were unable to revive him, and he was declared dead at the scene.

The initial assessment points to the man having died of 'natural causes,' with no suspicion of foul play surrounding his death. Although the exact cause is still undetermined, a heart attack has been mentioned as a possible explanation. The local authorities and medical personnel remain engaged in the situation, ensuring that all necessary protocols are followed in such cases.

Details about the man's age or whether he was traveling alone remain unconfirmed. This incident sheds light on the potential health risks that can arise during air travel, particularly for older travelers or those with preexisting conditions. Further investigations or autopsies may provide clarity on the circumstances of his death and are awaited by the family and the public alike.
