Dad of 3 dies after being restrained by passengers and crew when he allegedly became disruptive on Jet2 flight

Two passengers told Talk to the Press that several people stepped in to restrain Kerr until the aircraft touched down at Manchester Airport at around 2:25 a.m. on Monday, June 22, according to LADbible.

“There was a lot of panic, you don’t know what people might attempt to do on an airplane. My daughter was with us; she was getting panicked and upset by it all,” one passenger said, according to the outlet.

“There were a few panicked children on the plane, too, and the air hostesses were crying. It was a difficult situation; there was a lot of panic and confusion when we were up in the air.”

Another passenger claimed Kerr became “increasingly aggressive,” alleging that he was “walking up and down the flight banging on the overhead cabins.”

“They wouldn’t let anyone off the plane”

The witness also claimed that after “some guy locked eyes with him,” Kerr allegedly headbutted the passenger. They said cabin crew then “asked if any big lads could help,” adding that “around three or four passengers were pinning him down.”

“We landed at Manchester, it went silent, he had been shouting for the whole flight, and then he was silent,” the passenger said.

“When we touched down, the police came onto the flight, they ran to the back of the plane, shut the curtain, and we could see them doing CPR.

“One of the police officers rushed through with a defib, and another officer ran through with a medical bag.

“They wouldn’t let anyone off the plane for a good hour, until they rushed us all onto coaches into a deserted room and wouldn’t let us leave without giving a statement.”

“Was taken to hospital due to his condition”
