FRESH EBOLA FEARS AFTER A PASSENGER FLYING FROM NIGERIA TO JFK DIES IN SEAT AFTER VOMITING PROFUSELY




A 63-year-old man died during a flight from Nigeria to New York's JFK after vomiting profusely.
The unnamed passenger reportedly died in his seat after vomiting several times, according to airport officials. However, officials of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), who boarded the plane to remove the dead body, ruled out Ebola as the cause of death.

The passenger boarded an Arik Air plane out of Lagos, Nigeria, on Wednesday night, but passed away before the plane reached its final destination.
Flight attendants called the CDC, Port Authority and customs officials, who then boarded the plane as it touched down, forcing 145 worried passengers to remain on board.
The authorities then conducted tests on the body and it was only a short evaluation that suggested he did not have the deadly virus, prompting concerns there are still 'vulnerabilities' in airports.

According to sources, the unidentified man's body was then handed over to the Port Authority who removed it from the plane, with the CDC allegedly providing little information on how to deal with the remains.
Throughout the ordeal, the door connecting the aircraft to the terminal was left open.
