80-Year-Old Man Tried to Fly with His Dead Wife in a Wheelchair: What Happened at the Airport.

According to ТСН: Airport staff suspected something was wrong right at the metal detector. They seemed like an ordinary elderly couple returning from vacation, but the guard's vigilance led to a shocking truth.

Moment of Horror

The incident occurred when the 80-year-old man was transporting his wife in a wheelchair through the checkpoint. The guard needed assistance, and he noticed that the woman was completely unresponsive to her surroundings.

“The guard approached the woman, and the man handed him the cart. When the staff member took her by the hand, he noticed that she had an abnormally low temperature and was not breathing,” a witness of the event reported.

The staff member urgently called for medical assistance and the police. The emergency protocol was activated within minutes.

Man's Version

During questioning, the retiree claimed that his wife had died just a few hours before the flight while already at the airport. However, the low body temperature raised doubts among law enforcement about the truthfulness of his words.

According to local media, staff suspect that the man may have attempted to transport his wife's body disguised as a living passenger to avoid a complicated and costly repatriation procedure for the deceased. There is also a theory that he wanted to blame the conditions at the airport for her death.

Investigation

The Tenerife airport administration confirmed the incident, stating that it happened several months ago, but the details have only just become known.

The man was detained for questioning, but it is currently unknown whether he will face official charges. Police and forensic experts continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the woman's death.

Recall that a romantic gesture turned into a nightmarish experience for hundreds of passengers. The flight was delayed due to a conflict involving a man who caused a scene over a seat next to a girl.

This incident underscores the importance of vigilance at security checkpoints. Law enforcement and medical services remain alert to prevent similar cases in the future. The circumstances of the event raise even more questions that could impact security procedures at the airport.
