A two-year-old girl, and not a boy
as first reported, died of cardiac arrest on a Beirut-Rome
Alitalia flight which was rerouted to Bari to vainly try to
resuscitate her, sources said Tuesday.
The Lebanese girl was first treated by a hostess who tried to
resuscitate her aboard the plane, which was then rerouted to
Bari.
An emergency team again tried to resuscitate her in the
Puglia airport, but nothing could be done for her.
The girl was suffering from a serious kidney condition,
hyperoxaluria, medical and legal sources said.
She was on her way to Rome for treatment, they said.
