Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 12 Oct, 04:54 · Archive

A 28-year-old woman was found dead in her seat on a Volaris domestic flight in Mexico after other passengers noticed she was not moving.

Abidai Lopez Solis, 28, was discovered dead in her seat aboard Volaris flight 3358 from Tijuana to Tapachula International Airport in Chiapas on 7 October. The aircraft had arrived in the early hours of the morning. As passengers disembarked, those in her row noticed that she remained motionless and did not respond to attempts to rouse her.

Emergency personnel boarded the aircraft and checked her vital signs before confirming she had died. Her body was then removed for a post-mortem examination as authorities investigated the circumstances. Initial reports from local media did not establish a cause of death, but subsequent Mexican media reports indicated that forensic findings linked her death to cardiorespiratory arrest, with preliminary findings suggesting natural causes. The full autopsy report has not been publicly released.

Ms Lopez Solis was returning to Chiapas to reunite with family. Her relatives identified her at the state prosecutor's office and arranged for her body to be returned to her hometown of Acacoyagua for her funeral. Authorities have not alleged foul play.
