Cabin crew laid out the dead man across three seats and covered him with a blanket - but left his legs and feet sticking out, Ms Pettersson said.

Forced? What did she want them to do, throw him out?

Sheesh, isnt there a rule or something if someone dies they have to land and get the cadaver off the plane...or at least put it in the cargo hold

He took 3 seats, they should give her 3 times her demand. Moreover, I am sure he was better mannered than some airline personnel....

The man was having seizures before the plane took off. They could have at least stopped and dropped him on the tarmac before taking off.

They should absolutely move the body away from passengers and make an emergency landing. Dead bodies defecate and for all we know he may have died of some contagious disease that might compromise passenger health. This might also be traumatizing to children and should be avoided.

And airline food stinks too. This plane was a one stop shop.......

Evidently, flying with the airline was good enough to die for. They could probably market that now.
