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

According to reports, officers handcuffed Kerr, but it quickly became apparent that he was unresponsive. Police began CPR and requested a defibrillator before he was taken to a hospital.

Greater Manchester Police said officers were called following reports of an assault on the flight from Larnaca.

“An investigation is underway after a man became critically ill following reports that the same individual had been aggressive and disruptive towards a passenger and crew members on a flight heading into Manchester Airport,” a police spokesperson said, according to LADbible.

“At around 2:25am we were called to reports of an assault that had taken place on a flight from Larnaca, Cyprus.

“Officers attended and located a man who had been restrained. The man – in his 30s – was taken to hospital due to his condition.”

Police initially said the man was in stable but critical condition. Kerr’s family later told the Manchester Evening News that he died Tuesday afternoon.

In a statement, his family said: “Callum was a family man, father to three beautiful young children, a lover of sport and with a heart of gold.”
