A four-month-old baby has died on a flight from London Heathrow to Hong Kong, forcing the plane to make an emergency landing.
The baby girl fell unconscious mid way through the Cathay Pacific plane's journey, forcing the pilot to land at an airport in Kazakhstan to seek medical help.
A passenger who was a nurse gave first aid to the child before the plane landed in the Central Asian country, Apple Daily reports. But despite efforts made by Kazakh doctors, the baby was declared dead.
The child's parents are reported to have French-Chinese nationality and had been on their way to visit relatives on the Chinese mainland. Her parents made the decision to continue their flight to Hong Kong with their dead infant onboard.
It is not yet known how the baby died, but local media reported she may have suffered from a gastro-intestinal disorder before flying.
