A young Melbourne woman has tragically d!ed on an international Qantas flight
Manpreet Kaur, who had dreams of becoming a chef, boarded the aircraft ready to fly from Melbourne to the Indian city of Delhi.
It was going to be the first time she would see her family in four years, but sadly, she never made it.
According to a friend, the 24-year-old student reportedly “felt unwell” hours before arriving at the airport but managed to board the flight without any issues.
However, when she went to put on her seatbelt, Ms Kaur apparently fell to the floor and “died on the spot.”
The plane was still attached to the gate in Melbourne when cabin crew and emergency services rushed to help her.
“When she got on the plane, she was struggling to put her seatbelt on,” her friend Gurdip Grewal told the Herald Sun.
“Just before her flight started, she fell in front of her seat and died on the spot.”
It is understood that Ms Kaur likely died of tuberculosis, an infectious disease that mostly affects the lungs, according to the Herald Sun.
Her roommate, Kuldeep, said Ms Kaur had worked at Australia Post while studying cookery, with dreams of one day becoming a chef.
“She was kind and honest,” she told the outlet.
