Bangladeshi passenger dies on Cathay Pacific flight to Hong Kong

A Bangladeshi man died as he collapsed onboard a Cathay Pacific Airways flight from Dhaka to Hong Kong this morning.
The deceased was identified as Nazmul Islam, 47, and he was travelling to USA via Hong Kong alone, said Group Captain Kamrul Islam, executive director of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport.
The airlines have already informed his family and relatives and the Bangladesh High Commission in Hong Kong is providing assistance in this regard.
The flight numbered CX662 landed around 8:00am at the Hong Kong International Airport and Hong Kong police were alerted to the medical emergency shortly afterwards, reports Dimsumdaily Hong Kong.
However, despite immediate response, Nazmul Islam was declared dead on the spot, the report said.
Authorities said that an autopsy would be conducted to determine the cause of death.
This marks the second instance of a passenger dying on a Cathay Pacific flight this month.
Earlier on September 8, a German passenger collapsed on a Cathay Pacific flight from Hong Kong to Mumbai, minutes before the scheduled departure.
Emergency services rushed the German passenger to North Lantau Hospital in Hong Kong, but he was pronounced dead upon arrival.
