Airline staff try in vain to save boy on Samoa Airways flight
Police in Samoa are investigating the circumstances of the death of a child on board a flight from Auckland this week. Emergency staff were called to Samoa Faleolo International Wednesday after receiving information from a Samoa Airways aircraft that there was a medical situation mid-flight. "A medical situation involving a passenger occurred whilst flight OL732 was en-route from Auckland to Apia,'' the airline said. "In response, cabin crew assisted and treated the passenger with oxygen.'' Despite the crew's efforts to revive the passenger, his condition deteriorated. "Unfortunately, there was no medical personnel on board the flight,'' the airline said. "The passenger - who, according to family, had a medical history which had not been disclosed to the airline prior to the flight - sadly passed away.'' <br/>
