A 33-year-old father-to-be died on a RyanAir flight in Italy after suffering a heart attack while his pregnant wife was sitting at the other end of the plane.

Giuseppe Stilo, 33, received medical assistance from two trained passengers after falling sick on flight FR8780 from Turin to Lamezia Terme on Wednesday morning.

Despite their efforts, staff were forced to step in with a defibrillator and began trying to save the Ferrero employee from Filogaso as the plane diverted back to Turin.

Doctors rushed on board with adrenaline after landing back in Caselle some thirty five minutes after takeoff - but the man was soon pronounced dead.

It was also only after arriving back in Turin that his wife Federica Marella learned of her husband's death, leading to her being taken to the nearby Ciriè hospital in a state of shock, according to local media.
