27-year-old vomits blood at airport, dies

MUMBAI: A passenger died at Mumbai airport in the wee hours of Monday, a short while after he had landed.

Around 1.41am, the airport medical officer received a call from the airport manager to examine Sushant Sundar Shetty (27), who had reportedly vomited blood near one of the conveyor belts at the international arrival terminal. "Five minutes later, he was taken to the washroom and examined by the doctor," an airport official said.

According to Mumbai International Airport Pvt Ltd (MIAL) officials, the doctor found Shetty unconscious with blood oozing from his mouth. He had landed from the United States by a British Airways flight, BA 139.

The doctor found Shetty's blood pressure "unrecordable" and his pupils dilated. "He was given an injection of atropine and adrenaline. The doctor tried to revive him for 20 minutes. The same injections were given again," said an MIAL official.

Shetty was declared dead around 2.10am. His body was handed over to Sahar police. Cops said Shetty worked for JP Morgan. He was in the United States for the last three months for a training and was returning with his colleagues. The cause of death is yet to be ascertained, said officials.
