An American Airlines passenger died on Thursday morning after suffering a cardiac arrest on a flight to London from Dallas.
A spokesman with the Ottawa Paramedic Service told Fox News the agency responded to the incident around 2:18 a.m. and said the passenger, who is a man in his 50's or 60's, suffered a cardiac arrest during the flight, which prompted the pilot to make an emergency landing in Ottawa, Canada.
He said physicians on board the plane tried to revive the man with a defibrillator and with medication but the patient did not respond to treatment.
Paramedics tried to save the man once the plane landed but he was pronounced dead while he was being transported to the hospital.
