breaking news- nigerian passengers Dies On A Flight To NYC .
The unnamed passenger, age 63, died during a Nigeria-to-JFK flight after a vomiting fit — but CDC officials provided only a ‘cursory’ examination before stating there was no Ebola.
The man boarded an Arik Air plane out of Lagos, Nigeria, on Wednesday night, but died before the plane reached its final destination.
Flight crew called the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Port Authority and customs officials, who met the flight at the gate as it touched down, making 145 anxious travellers to stay on board.
The CDC officials then conducted exam on the body and announced the dead passenger did not have Ebola, but have not offered a cause of death.
