Out of respect for the relatives, Swiss said on Monday evening that it did not want to give any details about the cause of death of the young man, who was part of the cabin crew of flight LX1885 in an Airbus A220 from the Romanian capital to Zurich. He had been in intensive care at the hospital in Graz since the emergency landing on Monday last week.
There has been no information so far about the exact cause of the problems during the flight. Based on the initial findings, a technical defect in one of the engines is likely to be the cause, Swiss merely stated.
