A British tourist died on a Jet2 flight. The plane was heading to the East Midlands airport, but the passenger felt unwell before it could take off.

The takeoff was postponed, and the crew rushed to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the traveller, but unfortunately, they could not save him. The Sun writes about the tragic incident at Reus Airport on the Spanish Costa Dorada.

Police sources confirmed that the British man was 61 years old. His name and cause of death have not been disclosed.

The man reportedly died when the plane was preparing to taxi to the runway. The incident was reported to the airport, and the flight was delayed for 7 hours.

The passengers were taken off the plane while judicial officials examined the scene and gave permission for the body to be transported. A police source said the death was not being treated as suspicious, as the passenger appeared to have pre-existing health problems.

This can be confirmed only after an autopsy. The airline expressed condolences to the passenger's family.
