The woman's body was transported to the mortuary at Connolly Hospital Blanchardstown. The 60-year-old most likely died of natural causes. The authorities do not suspect any foul play.

Mirror.co.uk recalls that just a few days ago, a similar incident occurred—a strong 8-year-old girl from Missouri, USA, died while traveling to Chicago.

The SkyWest Airlines plane made an emergency landing, but the child's life could not be saved. According to the coroner's office, the girl suddenly felt worse and then lost consciousness during the flight.
