Spirit Airlines Passenger With Dementia Found Dead After Airport Abandonment
A federal lawsuit alleges Spirit Airlines failed to provide promised assistance to a 75-year-old passenger with dementia, leading to his death. The family claims they informed the airline of his cognitive issues and need for assistance upon arrival in Houston. Despite confirmation of support, the passenger was allegedly left unaccompanied, subsequently wandered onto a highway, and was fatally struck by vehicles. The lawsuit asserts Spirit’s failure to provide the requested assistance was the direct cause of the man’s death.
