Monterrey, México (19 diciembre 2007).- El copiloto de un jet privado, que iba a despegar del Aeropuerto Internacional de Monterrey a Nuevo York, murió ayer presuntamente de un paro cardiorrespiratorio, según las primeras investigaciones de la Policía Ministerial.

Una fuente de la Procuraduría estatal mencionó que la muerte fue reportada a las 13:15 horas en la plataforma general del aeropuerto, cuando la tripulación de la aeronave hacía los preparativos para salir con unos pasajeros.

Las autoridades estatales identificaron al ahora occiso, como Joel C. Luttrell, de 60 años, originario de Tennessee, Pennsylvania, quien había llegado la noche del lunes con el piloto David Williams, procedentes de Nueva York.

El piloto habría sido el que reportó a las autoridades aeroportuarias el desvanecimiento de Luttrell, dentro de la nave, sin saber en ese momento la causa del malestar que tenía su compañero, indicó la fuente.

José Luis Villanueva, subgerente de operaciones y seguridad, supervisó la asistencia médica para el copiloto norteamericano, al enterarse de lo que había sucedido, sin que esa situación alterara la actividad normal en las instalaciones.

Luego de unos minutos el personal médico comprobó que el copiloto ya no tenía signos vitales, por lo que pidieron la intervención de la Procuraduría para que tomara conocimiento del fallecimiento y las condiciones en que había ocurrido.

Peritos de Servicios Periciales revisaron el área donde estaba el copiloto, sin encontrar ninguna evidencia de violencia, por lo que más tarde un vehículo del departamento forense se encargó de trasladar el cuerpo al anfiteatro del Hospital Universitario.
 
Translated from Altavista:

The copilot of a deprived jet, that was going to take off of the Airport the International from Monterrey to New York, died yesterday presumably of unemployment cardiorrespiratorio, according to the first investigations of the Ministerial Police. A source of the state Office of the judge advocate general mentioned that the death was reported to 13:15 hours in the general platform of the airport, when the crew of the airship made the preparations to leave with passengers. The state authorities identified now to the murdered one, like Joel C. Luttrell, of 60 years, original of Tennessee, Pennsylvania, that had arrived the night from Monday with David pilot Williams, coming from New York. The pilot would have been the one that reported to the aeroportuarias authorities the fading of Luttrell, within the ship, without then knowing the cause of the malaise that had its companion, indicated the source. Jose Luis Villanueva, submanager of operations and security, supervised the medical aid for the North American copilot, when finding out of which he had happened, without that situation altered the normal activity in the facilities. After minutes the medical personnel verified that the copilot no longer had vital signs, reason why requested the intervention of the Office of the judge advocate general so that he took knowledge from the death and the conditions in which it had happened. Experts of Expert Services reviewed the area where he was the copilot, without finding no evidence of violence, reason why later a vehicle of the forense department was in charge to transfer the body to the amphitheatre of the University Hospital.
 
Making reference to the translation and not the subject of the story, I, on several occasions, have been a copilot on a deprived jet.
 
I thought you meant a 'Skynazi' croaked on a layover. :rolleyes:

Never mind... ;) TC
