A 24-year-old Indian-origin woman died on a Qantas flight from Melbourne to Delhi before the plane could take off. Manpreet Kaur, who had dreams of becoming a chef, was excited to visit her family in India for the first time in four years.

Kaur who “felt unwell” before boarding the flight, managed to get on the plane without any issues, reported News.com.au.

However, as she tried to put on her seatbelt, she collapsed and died immediately. The aircraft was still at the boarding gate in Melbourne when cabin crew and emergency services rushed to assist her.

“When she got on the plane, she was struggling to put her seatbelt on,” her friend Gurdip Grewal told the Herald Sun, reported News.com.au. “Just before her flight started, she fell in front of her seat and died on the spot.”

The cause of death is believed to be tuberculosis, an infectious disease that primarily affects the lungs.
