Airline Defends Crew After Corpse Was Seated Next to Vacationing Couple

Qatar Airways is defending its crew after they deposited a deceased passenger next to a couple for the final four hours of a flight from Melbourne, Australia to Doha, Qatar earlier this week.
As you know, the couple — Mitchell Ring and Jennifer Colin — claimed they were not offered new seats after a woman’s corpse was covered with a blanket and was placed in their row. Ring said he was simply asked to move over so the woman — who dropped dead near them — could occupy his seat.
In a statement obtained by TMZ, Qatar Airways says cabin crew “acted quickly, appropriately and professionally at all times in line with training and industry standard practice.”
The airline says crew members are trained to handle onboard deaths — which they describe as an “unfortunate reality” … “with as much respect and dignity as possible.”

Contrary to Ring and Colin’s telling, Qatar Airways says guests “were accommodated to other seats” and that a crew member sat next to the deceased passenger for the remainder of the flight.
Notably, Ring and Colin did not mention a crew member joining them in their row. Furthermore, Colin said she only changed rows after a fellow passenger encouraged her to sit with her.
Qatar says they have been “in direct contact with the family of the deceased” and offered passengers “directly affected” by the uncomfortable situation “emotional support and compensation.”
The airline did not respond to TMZ when asked how much guests would be compensated.
Ring and Colin eventually arrived at their final vacation destination in Italy after the morbid experience. They confirmed that while they were traumatized by the ordeal, they are hoping to enjoy their trip to the best of their ability.

Diddy, Bad Boy, MTV Sued
Ex-‘MTB’ Singer Claims
Hostile, Inhumane Treatment Was Too Hot For TV!!!
Published
Diddy‘s ex-“Making The Band” singer Sara Rivers is coming at his neck in a new lawsuit, and the allegations stem from her time on the popular MTV series.
In a sprawling lawsuit, obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Rivers claims the artist formerly known as Puff Daddy subjected her to mistreatment, which wound up becoming content for millions to see on TV.
The suit, filed by attorney Ariel Mitchell on behalf of Rivers, cites the infamous “cheesecake” from ‘MTB2’ where she and the rest of Da Band had to walk several blocks to get Diddy a sweet treat as one of the numerous incidents of abuse.
She also complains of being forced sleep in an open bay with 4 other males despite the fact she was married at the time, and says she was threatened with being ousted if she didn’t comply.
The suit also names MTV, Viacom and several ex-Bad Boy employees who had a profile on the series at the time … including Diddy’s mother, Janice, and ex-assistant Fonzworth Bentley.
Sara goes on to allege Diddy acted maliciously and recklessly with her career by publicly dismantling the group while pocketing most of her show money.
She also claims Diddy sexually harassed and assaulted her, claiming he once backed her into a corner and blocked her from moving while running his hand across her breasts.
She’s demanding damages from Diddy and the others.
Diddy’s legal team fired back, telling TMZ … “This is yet another example of false claims being filed against Mr. Combs. No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor. We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason. With the deadline for New York’s Gender-Motivated Violence Act expiring tomorrow, it’s clear that opportunists are rushing to file last-minute, meritless claims. Mr. Combs remains confident he will prevail in court.”
