Iván Andaur, 56, was piloting the plane from Miami, Florida to Santiago, Chile on Sunday night when he began to feel unwell and headed to the toilet.

He then collapsed leaving his two co-pilots to take control of the plane which landed at Tocumen International Airport in Panama City.

Paramedics rushed to try to help Andaur, but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

A registered nurse named Isadora said she and another nurse plus two doctors on the plane tried to save his life to no avail.

“Unfortunately, we did not have the necessary or sufficient supplies to perform a good resuscitation,” she said, according to a report in the Daily Mail.

Another passenger said the flight departed Miami around 11pm before one of the co-pilots requested medical assistance.

The woman said: “After 40 minutes the pilot asked us if there was a doctor on the plane, we don’t know what happened there.”

She added that a flight attendant asked if any passengers had equipment for someone who was dependent on insulin.
