Some passengers on a recent Qatar Airways flight walked away with a memorable experience, upset after being forced to sit with a dead lady on their dream trip to Venice.

The innocent bystanders, a married Australian couple, were flying from Melbourne to Doha. All was well, until about 10 hours into the flight.

Passenger collapsed

According to Australian news outlet “A Current Affair,” a large female passenger was using the nearby bathroom. Lord only knows what happened in that bathroom, because when she came out she collapsed next to the couple, and died.

“It was pretty heartbreaking to watch,” said Mitchell Ring, one-half of the Australian couple who would soon be even closer to the dead passenger. “They tried to wheel her up towards business class, but she was quite a large lady and they couldn’t get her through the aisle.”

With business class not an option, the crew decided to sit the deceased next to the Australian couple.

“They said, ‘Can you move over please?’ and I just said, ‘Yes no problem. Then they placed the lady in the chair I was in.”

The crew would not allow the couple to move

For the next 4 hours, Ring and his wife had to sit next to the dead woman, claiming the crew would not allow the couple to move elsewhere when they asked.

“I can’t believe they told us to stay, it wasn’t nice,” added Ring.

Qatar Airways has contacted passengers to apologize for the unexpected incident. “Our thoughts are with the family of the passenger who sadly passed away on board our flight” said Qatar in a statement.
