The passenger, believed to be a man who was travelling with his wife and child, passed away while flying from New Delhi to Singapore on Wednesday.

The incident is reportedly being investigated by police.

The passenger, believed to be a 34-year-old Indian national, was pronounced dead on the flight by doctors, the website reported.

A source said the passenger was a male and had been with wife and child.

But a Singapore Airlines spokesperson did not confirm whether the passenger had been travelling with their family and said further details regarding the incident could not be shared “for privacy purposes”.
