Plane makes emergency landing over mid-flight suicide attempt

A flight from Thailand to the UK was forced to make an emergency landing after a passenger attempted suicide inside the plane’s bathroom, according to a report Monday.

EVA Air Flight BR67 from Bangkok was in the middle of its descent into London’s Heathrow Airport on Friday when cabin crew members realized that a passenger was still occupying the restroom, according to the Sun.

When they went to check on the man, they discovered that he might have attempted to take his own life, the paper said.

It was unclear how the unidentified traveler allegedly tried to harm himself mid-flight, or what might have triggered it.

Crew members and an onboard doctor administered first aid to the distraught passenger, the UK paper said.

The jet landed around 7:30 p.m. local time and was met by medics who rushed the passenger to a hospital for further treatment, the paper said.

There was no immediate word on his condition as of Monday. 

EVA Air, one of Taiwan’s largest air carriers, confirmed the incident, the Sun said. The airline did not immediately respond to The Post’s requests for comment Monday.
