Grandfather died on Singapore Airlines flight as a result of ‘physiological effect’ from turbulence

Geoff Kitchen, a 73-year-old British holidaymaker, died during a Singapore Airlines flight from London. He and his wife, Linda, were travelling to begin a six-week holiday when the aircraft encountered severe turbulence. It was later determined that Kitchen suffered heart failure, which was attributed to the physiological effect caused by the turbulence. The incident occurred two years ago, resulting in the death of the grandfather while he was onboard the flight to his destination.
