This was reported by the Severstal airline.

“The Severstal airline flight from Kaliningrad to Petrozavodsk made an emergency landing at the alternate airport Pulkovo (St. Petersburg) due to a sharp deterioration in the passenger’s health,” RIA Novosti reported.

After landing, the ambulance crew pronounced the passenger dead.

A passenger plane previously flying from the Chinese city of Harbin to Yakutsk made an emergency landing at the destination airport after a fire sensor in the luggage compartment was activated.
