Villahermosa, Tabasco — Passengers of a Viva Aerobús flight from Mérida to Villahermosa were met with an unsettling discovery upon landing at Carlos Rovirosa Pérez International Airport. After disembarking, it was revealed that one of their fellow travelers had passed away during the flight, a fact only uncovered when the rest of the passengers exited the aircraft.
Flight XA-VDB landed without incident, but upon noticing that a male passenger had not left his seat in row 6, the crew checked to see why he had not disembarked. It was then that the grim reality was revealed: the man had died during the flight, seated in seat 6B.
The passengers, many of whom were likely looking forward to their arrival in Villahermosa, were left in shock by the discovery. At this point, neither the time nor cause of death has been determined, leaving authorities with several unanswered questions.
Description of the Deceased
Preliminary reports describe the deceased as a male, dressed in a long-sleeved gray shirt and gray pants. He was also wearing a distinctive blue cross, and his body bore an irregular wound on his forehead, located in the middle part of his facial region. He had a thin build, sparse beard, and moustache.
When his body was found, it was in a sitting position, with his head tilted to the left, resting on a cushion. His hands were placed on his legs, a haunting image that further disturbed those who witnessed the scene. The full details surrounding the circumstances of his death remain unclear, as authorities work to investigate the situation.
Reaction and Investigation
The death of a passenger during a routine commercial flight is rare, and it has sparked significant concern among both passengers and crew members. Officials are working closely with airport authorities and local law enforcement in Villahermosa to determine the cause of death and whether any further action needs to be taken. Autopsy results are expected to provide more information on the deceased’s health prior to the flight.
For now, passengers who witnessed the unsettling discovery are coping with the shock of having shared a flight with someone who tragically passed away during the journey. Viva Aerobús has not yet released an official statement regarding the incident, but the company is expected to cooperate fully with investigators.
Ongoing Investigation
As more details emerge, the authorities in Villahermosa are treating the matter with the seriousness it deserves. Investigators will examine flight records, interview crew members, and review medical evidence to piece together a clearer understanding of what transpired on board flight XA-VDB.
The incident highlights the importance of in-flight medical preparedness, though it remains unclear if any attempts were made to render aid to the man before his death was discovered.
Further updates are expected as the investigation continues, providing more clarity on the circumstances of the man’s untimely death during the flight from Mérida.
