American Airlines is sued by family of woman who died after flight
The family of a South Carolina woman has filed a wrongful death lawsuit accusing American Airlines of refusing to make an emergency landing after she fell ill during an April 2016 flight, leading to her death from an embolism 3 days later. According to the complaint, Oswell's flight was on its way to Dallas-Fort Worth from Honolulu when she became dizzy and disoriented before fainting. She regained consciousness after being looked at by a doctor, and later collapsed in a bathroom. Her family said the doctor recommended that the plane land at a nearby airport in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but the pilot flew on to Dallas after consulting with another doctor. Oswell's breathing and pulse eventually stopped, and flight attendants tried to administer CPR after an on-board defibrillator failed to work, the complaint said. <br/>
