Ebola fears as passenger flying from Nigeria to JFK dies in his seat after vomiting profusely

There was fresh Ebola fears yesterday October 16th
after an unidentified 63 year old man on board an
Arik flight which left Lagos on Wednesday night
heading to New York's JFK airport died before the
plane reached its destination after vomiting profusely
in his seat.

The plane crew immediately contacted the Centre for
Disease Control, CDC, and custom officials, who then
boarded the plane as it touched down, forcing 145
worried passengers to remain on board, UK Daily
Mail reports..

CDC then conducted tests on the body and found he
did not have Ebola.

According to The New York Post the unidentified
man's body was then handed over to the Port
Authority who removed it from the plane. What they
plan to do with the remains have not been made
known.

Throughout the ordeal, the door connecting the
aircraft to the terminal was left open, prompting
worries from Republican Congressman Peter King
that there are not enough checks in place before
reaching the screening process.

In a letter to the Department of Homeland Security,
King wrote:

'It was what I was told a cursory examination. The
Port Authority cops and personnel from Customs
and Border Protection were there, and they were
told there was no danger because the person did
not have Ebola,'

'But their concern was, how could you tell so
quickly? And what adds to the concern is how
wrong the CDC has been over the past few weeks.

'These individuals transit the airport with the rest
of the traveling population, including using the
restrooms,' King wrote in a letter on Thursday.
