A mother is suing American Airlines after her 14-year-old son died from a heart attack on one of the planes in 2022.
The federal lawsuit alleges that the plane’s onboard defibrillator did not function correctly and that the flight crew was not properly trained to use the medical equipment.
Melissa Arzu and her son were flying from Honduras to Miami after a family summer vacation.
However, her son suddenly experienced a medical emergency during the flight, The Blaze reported.
Kevin Greenidge, 14, lost consciousness shortly after takeoff.
The lawsuit alleged that the flight crew was “delayed in responding” to Greenidge’s medical episode, which the mother says could have saved his life.
The lawsuit claims that crewmembers “eventually attempted to use” the plane’s automated external defibrillator but were “either unable to properly operate the machine or the machine did not function properly.”
