They bade a happy goodbye to their family in the US and left for a vacation in India, not knowing that it was their last flight together. On February 12, the couple got separated in an unfortunate incident after a long flight from New York to Mumbai. The 80-year-old Indian American man collapsed and died leaving his 76-year-old wife alone, on arrival at Mumbai International Airport. Their decades-long togetherness came to an end.
The post-arrival wheelchair assistance was pre-booked for the elderly couple, according to reports. But they got only one wheelchair due to a shortage of the service at Mumbai Airport. He followed his wife on the wheelchair and walked nearly 1.5km to the immigration counter. All of a sudden, he sank to the floor due to a heart attack during the immigration process. He was immediately taken to a nearby hospital where he was declared dead to the utter dismay of his spouse and the airline officials.
