LOS ANGELES – A young girl died after she went into cardiac arrest on a plane flight to Seattle from Los Angeles International
Airport, authorities said.
The girl, believed to be about 10 years old, was on a Delta flight when she had the medical problem. The plane, which was still
over Southern California, returned to the airport, KABC-TV reported.
Paramedics “furiously worked to save her life. Sadly, all efforts were futile and the child was beyond medical help,” the Los
Angeles Fire Department tweeted.
