CBS4 News) FT. LAUDERDALE The next time you take a flight, you might want to make sure the passenger sleeping next to you is really just taking a nap.
ThatÂ’s because a 78-year old woman died while on a cross-country flight out of Fort Lauderdale and everyone on the plane thought she was just sleeping.
Officials with Delta Airlines said the woman died on flight 503 to Salt Lake City over the weekend.
According to the flight crew and passengers, no one realized she had passed away until after the plane landed.
Flight attendants and some passengers said they only realized what had happened once the plane began to empty out and she didnÂ’t move.
One EMT at the scene said the woman was dead long enough for rigor mortis to set in.
An autopsy is being performed to determine how the woman died.
