The crew had asked if there was a health professional on board however no one was able to help according to Dailystar.

Following attempts by the crew to resuscitate the passenger using a defibrillator, flight attendants suggested passengers sitting next to the deceased move seats.

After the plane landed at Gatwick airport as scheduled, the man was pronounced dead by paramedics.
