Corpse inside toilet of plane arriving to Katunayaka

A dead body has been found inside the toilet of an airplane flying to Sri Lanka from Dubai. Emirates flight No. EK 650 was scheduled to make a landing yesterday (19) at 8.30 in the morning and the air hostesses have made an announcement for passengers to tie their seat belts when the plane was to make her landing and in the process a

particular passenger was noted to be missing for a long period of time and that a door of the toilet was noted remaining closed. On checking up later the missing person was found dead inside that toilet.

The police say that the deceased person is a British national named John Steward Pringle aged 72 years who had been coming to Sri Lanka on a tourist visa. Three air hostesses had noticed that when the flight was about to land at Katunayaka and was flying at that moment the person mentioned was not to be seen and being alarmed they were on the look out for him. They report that he was in good health until the last moment. The person's home was notified of the dead body detected inside the toilet of the plane.

Prior to this, last June a British national aged 71 years was found dead in an Emirates plane flying from Dubai to Manchester. It is assumed that he had died as a result of a heart attack.
