Reimbursed for having to share seat with corpse

A Swedish reporter has been reimbursed by Kenyan Airways for having to sit beside a dead person during part of the flight from Amsterdam to Tanzania. In the beginning, her seat mate was clearly in rough state but still alive, said Lena Pettersson, a reporter for Swedish State Radio. There was quite a scene apparently as the man out and out died, an unfortunate incident which caused the airline to return about half of Ms Pettersson's fare. It gives a whole new meaning to deadheading. The airline did not ask for credit on the story, which might have been worth something.
