A 63-year-old British Cypriot passed away on Wednesday night during a flight from the UK to Paphos, with his body being transferred to a hospital to ascertain the cause of death.

“We can confirm that he passed away during the flight but at the moment there’s not much more we can say,” a police source told the Cyprus Mail, adding that they are not considering anything suspicious or any criminal activity being involved.

It is understood that his wife first alerted officials to the incident and the body was then transferred by ambulance to a hospital once the flight landed.
