ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) — A Delta Airlines flight was diverted to Rochester Sunday night after an 82-year-old woman died on board.
Rochester police Capt. John Sherwin said the flight from San Antonio to Minneapolis landed at Rochester International Airport about 10 p.m.
When the plane landed, the woman from Bandera, Texas, had already passed away when the plane touched down. Sherwin said the woman had a history of medical problems.
She had been traveling with a dog named Sampson. Rochester police have the dog right now but the woman’s daughter who lives in Minneapolis is expected to come get it.
