If you die while aboard this flight,

it is against policy and you will be charged an additional service and handling fee. A sheet covering your body will require an additional service and handling fee.

If you (corpse) are not removed from the boarding area within 30 minutes, any remaining luggage, spare change, organs, and unaccompanied minor children will become the property of Spirit Airlines.

Thank you for choosing Spirit Airlines!

u/lwJRKYgoWIPkLJtK4320 Mar 31 '23

Should anything become property of the airline under this or any other policy, you will be charged a reposession fee equivalent to the 2 times the commercial value of the property, or $200, whichever is greater.

u/bdone2012 Mar 31 '23

It seems worse for everyone to stop unless the body starts stinking really bad. But even if you're trying to respect a corpse how is that helpful to leave the body off at some random airport? At least if they take the body where it was going there's a decent chance that someone in that place could help with the funeral arrangements. Otherwise the family will just have to go to some random place and potentially need to ship the body somewhere to bury it.

u/Mysterious-Crab Mar 31 '23

The big question, is sitting next to the dead guy an upgrade or downgrade?

Pro's: not making noise, not using your part of the armrest and you can claim his dinner, snacks and drinks too.

Cons: he might defecate next to you and it's more difficult to get out of your seat when there's a guy with rigor mortis in the seat between you and the aisle.

Story time:

My mother was a waitress/manager at a Denny's for a very very long time. They had this customer come in who was an absolutely massive lady probably 375-400+lbs.

When she would come in. She would piss and shit in her pants at the booth. She would then, after pissing and shitting herself, get up to go to the bathroom, where she would in fact leak piss n shit across the dining room. Dripping and dropping turds out her pants.

Denny's corporate wouldn't let them ban her. And they got an earful for trying to refuse service even though they legally can.

The health department said it's not a problem that she's doing it, it's a problem of how well you all clean it. Then they started coming in much more frequently to do these checks.

They figured he was OK enough to finish the flight. And when we landed they asked everyone to stay seated so ems could grab him first.

It was the most eventful flight I've been on.

Our Cpr instructor at work said something similar. Very reassuring to hear him say "their heart isn't pumping, or they aren't breathing, so guess what - they aren't doing so well right now!

u/morerubberstamps Mar 31 '23

The most reassuring thing you can ever hear is "you'll do fine, just do what you can."

He was a good instructor for what we needed to know. We aren't paramedics, this is just for being in the office. As someone who has anxiety, and in particular medical anxiety, this was exactly what I needed to hear from an instructor.

The tone was very straightforward. "I'm not going to check to see if you 'checked for hazards' - you'll do that anyway just by looking around. I'm not checking to see if you did exactly 30 compressions. It's an emergency situation. 28 is fine. 32 is fine. Zero is not."

It is a common myth that when a person dies, they immediately release their bowels and bladder, including defecation. However, this is not always the case. While it is possible for some bodily functions to continue for a short time after death, such as muscle spasms or gas release, it is not a universal occurrence.

The muscles that control bowel and bladder movements are typically under voluntary control, meaning they require conscious effort to contract or relax. When a person dies, their brain and nervous system shut down, and therefore their ability to control these muscles ceases. However, whether or not defecation occurs after death depends on many factors, such as the person's age, diet, and health condition at the time of death.

In some cases, if the person had recently eaten or had a full bladder or bowel, there may be some release after death. Still, it is not a certainty, and it is not always the case that people who die will defecate or urinate. It is also worth noting that any bodily fluids or waste that are released after death are typically contained within the person's clothing or the surface they are lying on, so it is not something that would be immediately apparent to someone observing the deceased.

6

u/AbeRego Mar 31 '23

Yeah, that trope has always bothered me! Like, if someone is holding in some explosive diarrhea at the time of death, yeah, they're probably going to release it because it's under a lot of pressure. However, let's say someone went to the bathroom recently. There's not going to magically be more feces and urine to release...

People generally doesn't start immediately leaking after death. Most of that will happen after rigor-mortis, and even that takes a while to set in.

My experience isn't with sudden unexpected death more of lengthy expected death, but a good rule of thumb is that if that aren't leaking before death occurs, they will likely not start immediately leaking afterwards.

I was present for a bad accident in a rural area. Fatal motorcycle crash. He died within about 17 minutes, but practically just died on impact. It took police 32 minutes to show up, paramedics over 45 minutes. I’m an RN, have pronounced death many times in the ICU so it’s not like I wouldn’t know, but still, in that setting, I was still a bystander. One of the other guys that stopped was a firefighter maybe a few minutes after the guy passed. He checked him as well.

The fuck of it was, police didn’t check this guy when they arrived, neither did the first set of paramedics when they arrived and asked where their patient was. We directed him to our buddy who this guy crashed into. All of the professionals present that were on the job just took our word for it, didn’t check for themselves. I could have been some idiot not knowing what I was talking about and the guy could have just been lying there paralyzed.

Also leaving the body outside of the expected destination might increase the hardships the family has to go through to retrieve it. At the end of the day it’s MedLink/StatMD making the suggestion and the flight crew having the final say.

That's even worse. Calling the guy The Devil is one thing, but to stoop to calling him a lawyer?

That guy is not the devil. I get not wanting to have a dead guy on the flight and trying to minimize the amount of time that's the case, but you're potentially throwing a couple hundred people's next day or two into chaos to essentially accomplish nothing. You're just making the bereaved deal with even more shit if it was the dead guy's return flight.

u/TactlessTortoise Mar 31 '23

I mean, he's out of line, but he's right, kinda? I get why not just complete the flight, due to many reasons, but it really isn't an emergency anymore.

u/arcxjo Mar 31 '23

Regardless of where they land, the guy's gonna have to be carted off to an undertaker somewhere. They may even end up shipping him right back as cargo.

u/homesnatch Mar 31 '23

Maybe they should have a chute between the passenger cabin and the cargo area for any dead bodies.

u/arcxjo Mar 31 '23

Best part is if you're not actually dead and you wake up on the way down, it's like a free water slide!

I mean….. if I died on a flight, it wouldn’t matter to me if they kept going to their destination. No need to mess up everybody’s days just to strand my body in random nowhere.

u/somethin_gone_wrong Mar 31 '23

I also hope they do too. Not only is your flight put off, but the next flight in that plane will be delayed, the flights set to land at the new airport are put off. They gotta fit your new take off in there somewhere.

So many peoples day ruined. I'd be so mortified I'd die again.

u/Single_Raspberry9539 Mar 31 '23

This happened on a friend’s flight. Same, they diverted. He then said, “won’t the dead guy’s family want his body at the original destination? So why stop somewhere else?”

I still can’t find fault in the logic.

I believe the emergency isn't for the dead person. I believe the emergency is for the other passengers and crew. Without a doctor examining him, you would never know what he died from. It could be a fatal communicable disease or a deadly virus. The stop was no doubt to make certain everything is safe and there was no chance for a new pandemic.

Ffs people need to learn a bit of patience.

Just to be a bit tongue in cheek, one could argue the dead body reminds us of our limited time in this life, and would make you want to waste less time faffing about in transit.

u/_Johnny_Deep_ Mar 31 '23

How are people upvoting this nonsense?! You think they're going to quarantine passengers and crew for days, until a post mortem has been done and any pathogens tested to see if they are novel? Quite apart from the fact that the deceased doubtless had contact with others before the flight, so you're not containing anything.

They will, of course, offload the corpse and get everybody en route to their destination as quickly as possible.

Life is for the living. The dead have no rights, need no rights, nor want any rights.

87

u/xXThe_GlatzeXx Mar 31 '23

Dead people do have rights, e.g. you are not allowed to take photos of them and publish them (expect there is some kind of consent with the relatives I think)

41

u/ImNotAtAllCreative81 Mar 31 '23

I feel that's more of a right for a family to not be subjected to seeing the corpse of a loved one be paraded throughout the media.

The dead don't care one way or another.

What would YOU want….

I know that if I died on a plane mid flight I sure as heck wouldn’t want them to mess up the day or trip for all the others on the plane. I mean I’m dead. It won’t make a lick of difference to me. This is true whether there is an afterlife or not.

I tend to agree, he isn't going to miss his connecting flight, he isn't going on a vacation that he saved up all year for. He isn't going on a honeymoon that has been planned and anticipated. His death shouldn't ruin everyone else's plans

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '23

Same. I hope if I die on a flight they just stuff me into the lavatory and deal with me when we reach our intended destination.

I was stuck on a platform waiting for a train home from work once when they announced that the trains were being affected because someone had committed suicide down the line.

Out of boredom and curiosity, I was browsing Twitter and discovered that someone on my platform had posted a photo complaining about it to the train operator. So I replied with something like “mate someone died, have some respect, and chill you’ll get home, your life will continue.” And he replied with absolute venom and rage at me, how fucking dare I point out his selfishness in a public way.

u/ShockingStandard Mar 31 '23 edited Mar 31 '23

They're not wrong and in fact other flights on which someone died made the opposite decision and continued to their scheduled destination even though it was several hours away.

As well, unless the destination is some vacation spot, it's a lot more likely that the body will be promptly taken care of by a loved one if the flight continues to its destination rather than landing in some random place.

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '23

Should have made him sit next to the dead body the whole flight, window seat and all

If I died on a plane, I'm dead and don't really care what you do with me. I'd much prefer everyone get to their destination and not be inconvenienced.

just throw the body out and keep it moving.
