A passenger was found dead on a Jet2 plane bound for Manchester Airport on Tuesday evening (January 2).
The man, who was travelling from Tenerife, was found in the toilet cubicle after fellow passengers noticed it had been locked for some time. After alerting staff, the devastating discovery was made and the plane landed instead in Cork.
A spokesperson for the airline told the Mirror: "Flight LS918 from Tenerife to Manchester diverted to Cork Airport on Tuesday 2nd January, due to a customer requiring medical attention. Regrettably, we can confirm that the customer sadly passed away. Our thoughts are with the customer's family and friends at this very difficult time."

One passenger said: "My husband reported someone had been in toilet a long time and he thought he was dead. Tragically he was right. He informed the crew who were dismissive towards him.
"Toilets should be checked more regularly when an event like this happens. If they were, maybe the poor man could have been saved. I heard he travelled alone. Everyone on board was very upset by the tragic circumstances."
