The British authorities have launched this Wednesday an investigation into the sudden death of the Albanian flight attendant Greta Dyrmishi, who died on December 21 of last year, shortly after the "Air Albania" company plane landed at London's Stansted Airport.
The 24-year-old was part of the crew of "Air Albania" and died under strange circumstances, which were clarified by the airline only 1 week after the event, indicating that we were dealing with a cardiac arrest.
A court in Essex (the area where Stansted Airport is also located) today heard from medical experts who treated the 24-year-old at the scene, saying that Dyrmishi was traveling from the Albanian capital, Tirana, to Essex on December 21 when she suddenly fainted.
First aid and CPR were administered at the scene, but she sadly passed away. The East of England Ambulance Service unit said two ambulances, a hazardous area response team vehicle and the Essex & Herts Air Ambulance responded to reports of a woman seriously ill on board an aircraft.
Essex Coroner Michelle Brown told the court that Greta's death would be subject to a full and documented investigation.
"This 24-year-old female was a cabin crew member on a flight from Albania and was on the runway when she fainted and was given basic first aid. Ten minutes later she had no pulse and CPR was performed on her. Doctors treated her and confirmed that she was dead. An autopsy revealed that her cause of death was sudden adult death syndrome," said Dr. Brown.
She added: “At the time of the incident, the flight attendant was at the front near the doors of an aircraft at Stansted Airport. This case is suitable for a documented investigation in due course".
