Earlier this month, the body of a passenger who died aboard an international flight from Istanbul to San Francisco went missing after the flight was diverted to Chicago.

On July 13, a passenger aboard a Turkish Airlines flight "suffered a severe medical emergency" while the plane was flying over Greenland. As the passenger's condition deteriorated, the crew initially considered diverting to an airport in Iceland, Aviation A2Z reported. However, after the passenger died, they chose to continue to O'Hare International Airport in Chicago to enter U.S. airspace.
