Hawaiian Airlines flight diverted after flight attendant dies following medical emergency
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - A Hawaiian Airlines flight to New York was diverted to San Francisco on Thursday night after a medical emergency on board.
Sources told Hawaii News Now that a flight attendant died after suffering a medical emergency.
An online flight tracker shows Flight 50 left Honolulu at 4:20 p.m., and was re-routed to California.
Sources say crew members performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation for hours but could not revive the flight attendant, who reportedly had more than 30 years of service.
One passenger sent out a series of tweets saying flight attendants made an announcement calling for any doctors on board to help.
Another passenger told Hawaii News Now there was a doctor and at least one paramedic on the flight who did step in to assist. She said the experience was sad and very confusing for most of the passengers on board.
She also added that the passengers were not informed about what was taking place, only that an emergency had occurred. Once they landed in San Francisco, they were held on the runway for nearly two hours waiting on the coroner to arrive.

I don’t have a good answer for you but somehow somewhere the FA was declared deceased and paramedics aren’t allowed to move a dead body in certain jurisdictions. Hopefully someone with a deeper knowledge of this will chime in.

I’ve read elsewhere that it has to do with cause of death.
Coroner has to make a preliminary statement as far as cause of death.
If it’s ruled a suspicious death then all on board are potentially suspect.
Don’t know if that’s all true but sounded plausible.
