The family of a man who had an asthma attack and died last year on a British Airways flight from London to New York is now suing the carrier, claiming that flight attendants never even made an announcement asking if there was a doctor onboard.
The plane was roughly an hour out from landing when Shimon Breuer, 25, began to have difficulty breathing, according to a wrongful death lawsuit his brother filed in Brooklyn federal court. It says a panicked Breuer “gasped for air,” and “begged for help,” but that the cabin crew “failed to provide… prompt and proper medical attention,” resulting in his death.
