Sadly, the man never regained his consciousness and was declared dead at Paphos General Hospital upon arrival. “We can confirm that he passed away during the flight but at the moment there’s not much more we can say,” a police source is quoted as saying by Cyprus Mail. The local newspaper reports that police are not considering anything suspicious or any criminal activity being involved.
