'Man who died after biting passenger on Aer Lingus flight suffered very violent death

More details have emerged on the passenger on board the Aer Lingus flight who died after biting a fellow passenger.

It has now been revealed he was a 24 year old Brazillian passenger named John Kennedy dos Santos Gurjao. Drugs worth £43,000 were found in his stomach. The Mirror reveals an autopsy on the 24-year-old Brazilian's body has been completed and the packages were sent for forensic analysis.

John Leonard who was travelling on flight EI-485 from Lisbon to Dublin on Sunday when the Brazilian man took ill and allegedly bit another passenger said:

"He was actually on the ground shaking violently.The noise he was making was like something I have never heard before.It's not something you'd hear everyday. It was like deep anguish is the best way I could describe it, very, very troubled.Not screaming in a sense, you know if you'd hurt yourself or something, just very guttural, from deep within him."

Mr Leonard added that it was a "very violent end".

He said: "To die that way in the back of an aeroplane, it's not right."It was not very pleasant at all."
