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.

“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.

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