According to Irish and English newspapers, the pilot immediately decided to land at Shannon Airport in Limerick, in the west of Ireland, due to the medical emergency. In the local university hospital, however, the doctors could only determine the death of the girl.

While most people immediately think of seniors for deadly cardiovascular disease, even very young people may be affected.
