A couple have said they were forced to sit next to a dead body for four hours on a Qatar Airways flight.<\/p>\n

Mitchell Ring and Jennifer Colin were travelling from Melbourne to Doha, en route to Italy, when a woman walked out the toilet and collapsed near their row about 10 hours into the journey.<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately the lady couldn’t be saved, which was pretty heartbreaking to watch,” Mr Ring told Australia’s A Current Affair programme.<\/p>\n

He added: “They tried to wheel her up towards business class, but she was quite a large lady and they couldn’t get her through the aisle.”<\/p>\n

The pair, who were the only ones in a row of four, said flight attendants put the woman in one of the spare seats for the remaining four hours of the flight.<\/p>\n

Mr Ring told Australian media: “They said, ‘Can you move over please?’\ufeff and I just said, ‘Yes no problem’.<\/p>\n

“Then they placed the lady in the chair I was in.”<\/p>\n

He said there were a few spare seats nearby but claimed crew didn’t offer to move them.<\/p>\n

Mr Ring also said he was told to stay put while medical teams removed blankets covering the woman when they landed, and that they were offered no support.<\/p>\n

In a statement to Sky’s US partner network NBC News, Qatar<\/a><\/strong> Airways said: “First and foremost our thoughts are with the family of the passenger who sadly passed away on board our flight.<\/p>\n

“We apologise for any inconvenience or distress this incident may have caused, and are in the process of contacting passengers in line with our policies and procedures.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
