A passenger on a Delta Air Lines flight was declared dead on Monday evening
after the flight returned to Detroit for a medical emergency.

spokesperson. The crew made the decision to return to Detroit, landing at 10:35

cardiovascular disease. The death was ruled a natural death. An age and hometown
of the passenger weren't immediately available.

Wayne County Airport Authority officials could not be reached for comment.
