Gujarat: Four-month-old dies onboard Surat-Mumbai flight

A four-month-old infant on board a SpiceJet Surat-Mumbai flight Friday fell unconscious and was later declared dead on arrival by doctors in a private hospital in Mumbai. The cause of death is yet to be known.

Sources in the Surat Airport said that the family along with other passengers entered into the airport around 7 am. After clearing all the procedures, their flight departed around 7:50 am.

Police said that the child was fed by her mother Preeti Jindal around 5:30 am and was awake while entering the airport. She was asleep when the family members boarded the flight.

When the flight landed at the Mumbai airport at 9:50 am, the mother tried to wake her up but the child failed to respond, following which the shocked family immediately informed the flight crew.
