They were in a row of four apparently (so maybe it was the middle set?) and the deceased was an, er, large lady, so not easy to manoeuvre.

But as Mikefule said;

However, passengers claiming trauma and talking about duty of care and the need for counselling need to take a long hard look at themselves. There were other empty seats on the flight. I have often moved to another empty seat on a flight. No need to make a fuss, just do it. Otherwise, show some grit and endure a few hours of mild discomfort, because you are still a damn sight more fortunate than the person who has died.

Too right. I wouldn't choose to sit next to a corpse on an air flight and then go on to complain afterwards. You'd blatantly move to another seat if one was available. Some people just live to paint themselves as victims don't they.

Qatar Airways says an internal review has found that its crew "acted quickly, appropriately and professionally" when they placed the body of a woman who died mid-flight next to an Australian couple.

The airline issued the statement to the BBC on Friday, after the couple told Australia's Channel Nine that they were traumatised by the experience on the Melbourne to Doha flight.

Qatar Airways had apologised in a previous statement for "any inconvenience or distress this incident may have caused".

S.O.P. for an inflight death.

If a passenger dies on board a flight, cabin crew members like Jay Robert have to think fast.

"We go from service to lifesaving to mortician, dealing with dead bodies and then doing crowd control," the 40-year-old says. "We're having to calculate: 'Okay, we still need to serve 300 people breakfast or dinner and we have to deal with this'."

Jay, a cabin manager for a major European airline and a former crew member for Emirates, has more than a decade's experience working on planes. Like all cabin crew, he has been trained to deal with passenger deaths, but has only experienced one himself.

He says deaths on planes are "very uncommon" and that people are more likely to die on longer flights because of the physical toll of being immobile for a long period. Some flight crew don't experience an on-board fatality during their entire career, he says.

A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2013 concluded that dying on a flight was "rare". The study, which looked at emergency calls from five airlines to a medical communications centre between January 2008 and October 2010, found that 0.3% of patients who had an in-flight medical emergency died.

Man claims he was shot by his dog while lying in bed​

/Dog bites man, with a gun

---------------------
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A man claimed he was shot by his dog while lying in bed on Monday morning, police say.

The Memphis Police Department responded to the accidental injury call in the 700 block of Whitney Avenue just before 4 a.m., where Jerald Kirkwood told police he was lying in bed with his female friend when his dog jumped on the bed.

Oreo, the one-year-old pit bull, allegedly got his paw stuck in the trigger guard, and he hit the trigger. Kirkwood was grazed by a bullet in the top of his left thigh.

A loaded gun with the safety catch off is just what you need when lying in bed with your female friend at 4am.

I note she left after the ‘accident’ taking the gun with her which makes it look like it’s her gun, otherwise wouldn’t you leave it there?

Jumping to conclusions, I reckon she shot him then left & the dog is a cover story. Could be drugs involved..

Fungus labeled ‘urgent threat’ by CDC is spreading rapidly, hospital study finds​


/Do you want zombies? Because this is how you get zombies.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/fungus-labeled-urgent-threat-cdc-130000001.html
------------------------
The CDC has called Candida auris “an urgent antimicrobial resistance threat” because it’s resistant to anti-fungal drugs, making it hard to treat an infection once it occurs.

“If you get infected with this pathogen that’s resistant to any treatment, there’s no treatment we can give you to help combat it. You’re all on your own,” Melissa Nolan, an assistant professor of epidemiology and biostatistics at the University of South Carolina, told Nexstar.
 

Holy relics seized at border, returned to Italy after Winnipeg man bought them on eBay​


/They saved St. Nick. Yes, that St. Nick.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/canada-returns-saint-nicholas-relics-italy-1.7491170
------------------------
Holy reliquaries, including relics of Saint Nicholas — who inspired Santa Claus — were confiscated by Canadian border services and returned to Italy after a Winnipeg man tried to illegally import them.

A brass and glass medallion, a wooden statuette depicting the saint and a glass tube containing bone fragments, along with documents proving the object's authenticity, were given back to Italian authorities on Wednesday, the Canadian government said in a news release.

The objects were intercepted in February and June of 2020 after a man bought the reliquaries through eBay for a total of nearly $3,300 US. Canada border officers screening the courier imports in Winnipeg believed the objects were foreign cultural property that may have violated the Cultural Property Export and Import Act.

Today there is another similar case:

The bishop of Assisi reports: relics of Blessed Carlo Acutis up for auction on the web
Monsignor Domenico Sorrentino has filed a complaint-denunciation to the police station of Assisi. The hair of the blessed sold for over 2 thousand euros
The hypothesis of the crime must be identified, even before the possible responsible parties, but the bishop of Assisi Domenico Sorrentino yesterday (March 25) filed a complaint-denunciation against unknown persons to the police station of Assisi on the online sale of the relics of Carlo Acutis, a case that emerged one month before the canonization that will take place next April 27 during the Jubilee of Adolescents.
A necessary step, given that this is a trade prohibited by canon law, and in consideration of the concerns expressed by the Vatican. Cardinal Marcello Semeraro, prefect of the dicastery for the causes of saints, was the first to contact a lawyer through Nicola Gori, the postulator of the cause of beatification of Carlo Acutis. In the meantime, the auction for Acutis' hair closed at dawn and an unknown buyer won them for 2,110 euros.[...]
