The 69-year-old suffered “acute respiratory failure,” Louisiana authorities confirmed last week.
Covid-19 was the cause of death, writes NBC News.
This was confirmed by Louisiana authorities last week.
I have help
Two fellow travelers helped Hernández with CPR when the 69-year-old became seriously ill. The plane was diverted to New Orleans and he died that same night.
“It all felt so intense and not real,” a passenger told NBC News when the death was known.
According to the channel, the same passenger must have heard Hernández’s wife say that she had symptoms of covid-19. This was confirmed by the report a few days later.
According to NBC Los Angeles, the wife is said to have said that Hernandez had lost his sense of smell and taste.
I contacted all the passengers
As a result, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) contacted passengers who may have been exposed to the coronavirus.
Before departure, all passengers must complete a form stating that they have tested negative for COVID-19 and do not know the symptoms of the virus, according to a spokesperson for the airline that NBC News has spoken with.
– Looks like you filled out the form incorrectly, says Charlie Hobart.
Both employees and passengers were quarantined for 14 days.
