Kenya Airways records 3rd passenger death

Kenya Airways has left a lot of people in awe after they announced the death of another passenger onboard one of their jets.

A passenger was developed breathing problems whilst boarding Kenya Airwyas flight KQ612 operated by an Embraer E190AR. It was scheduled to depart Nairobi for Mombasa at 1900HRS on the 14th of September. The passenger was announced dead by medical personnel who responded to the incident. The flight eventually departed Nairobi at 2153HRS arriving in Mombasa at 2236HRS instead of the scheduled 2000HRS.

This unfortunate death, brings the number of deaths that have occurred on Kenya Airways jets to 3 in a space of less than 30 days. The other deaths were recored on a flight from New York to Kenya, whilst the other occurred on a flight from Kenya to New York.

Social media was ablaze with speculation as some went as far as suggesting that Kenya Airways was sacrificing passenger whilst others suggested sabotage and maintenance issues just to mention a few.

Are they sacrificing passengers? Why only KQ and in span of months one death after another?

My perspective as an Aviation trainer, I guess there is something really very wrong going on with you guys. Either, it's complacency on handling medical emergencies onboard the aircraft, or some very weird sabotage. This is the third time we are reading about this. Coincidence?
