Apparently, the events as first described the family member was inaccurate. It seems odd that this family member was so outspoken against the facts.

It will be interesting as this develops what will change with in-flight medical emergencies. According to the CNN report, she could have had an allergic reaction so severe that it obstructed her airway causing her to be unable to breathe. And she was thirsty and sweating post-prandially that could be suggestive of hyperglycemia in the context of possible insulin resistance.

I am partially making my call on this statement:

Quote:
Sitting in the 10th row, four rows back from first class, Desir had complained of not feeling well and being very thirsty after she ate a meal on the flight home from Port-au-Prince to John F. Kennedy International Airport, according to Antonio Oliver, a cousin who was traveling with her and her brother.
So neither O2 or AED would have made a lot of difference in this case... That is really sad.
