Flight of the Living Dead

[starrwriter]

LONDON (Reuters) -- A passenger in first class woke up to a shock when he found himself sitting near a corpse on a British Airways flight, British newspapers reported on Monday.

Paul Trinder, 54, said cabin crew moved the body of the elderly woman from the economy section where she had died after take-off, the Mirror and Sun tabloids said.

"The corpse was strapped into the seat but because of turbulence it kept slipping down on to the floor," Trinder, a businessman, was quoted as saying. "It was horrific. The body had to be wedged in place with lots of pillows."

The woman's daughter was also upgraded and spent the rest of the nine-hour flight from Delhi to London grieving next to her dead mother, the Sun reported.

This is not your writing Starrwriter so it belongs in the couch area instead of in draft.

I wonder how often they have corpses on flights, and whether the procedure of moving one to first class and strapping it in is described in the flight manual.
