Due to the fact that her corpse cannot be returned to her family, the relatives of a lady who passed away unexpectedly while on an aircraft departing from Melbourne will have to go to Australia in order to attend her funeral ceremony.
When Manpreet Kaur, 24, a young woman with aspirations of becoming a chef, was putting on her seatbelt on a Qantas aircraft that was ready to depart for India from Tullamarine Airport in Melbourne on June 20, she had a medical emergency that ultimately proved to be de.adly.
For the first time in more than four years, Ms. Kaur was making her way back to Dharampura, which is located in the Mansa region in the northern part of the nation, to see her family.
In an interview with the Daily Mail Australia, her cousin and roommate, Kuldeep Kaur, said that Ms. Kaur’s health had worsened over the last several months due to the fact that she had been suffering from TB without her knowledge.
She said that the last words that Ms. Kaur had spoken to her were, “I will come back.”
According to Kuldeep, “She had difficulty talking, and during that last week she had no energy to do anything and was just lying in bed.” Both of these statements were made.
Ms. Kaur was going to travel to India, according to Kuldeep, so that she could get assistance in her recuperation and be with family and friends who were able to take care of her.
As a result of the post-mortem examination confirming the severe and extremely contagious respiratory ailment, the authorities have decided that the corpse cannot be moved out of the country, according to Kuldeep.
In light of the ruling, she disclosed that Ms. Kaur’s relatives had been compelled to submit visa applications in order to go to Australia and attend the burial of Ms. Kaur.
An acquaintance of Ms. Kaur named Gurdip Grewal reported that the family was “devastated… (and) experiencing a mix of shock, grief, and disbelief.”
According to what he said to the Daily Mail Australia, “It’s been a very difficult time for everyone.”
In the month preceding up to her passing, Ms. Kaur was employed at Australia Post, despite the fact that she had been following her dream of becoming a chef ever since she moved to Australia.
Kuldeep ‘couldn’t believe it’ when she had a knock on the door from a law enforcement officer who informed her of the passing of her cousin, who was described as being “honest and kind.”
Kuldeep described the situation as follows: “That morning, I took her to the airport, and she told me, “I will come back.”
It was anticipated that Ms. Kaur would have made a full recovery from her sickness by the time she booked her travel back to Australia on July 25.
Within a little more than a week, Mr. Grewal’s GoFundMe campaign to provide financial assistance to the Kaur family has successfully generated more than $41,000.
The website for fundraising states, “Our dear friend Manpreet left us too soon, leaving a void in our lives that can never be filled.” This is a statement that cannot be fulfilled.
During this time of mourning, we would want to join together to pay tribute to her memory and offer our support to her family as they go through this difficult period.
It was alleged that Ms. Kaur, who was badly debilitated, “fell in front of her seat and died on the spot” as she struggled to put on her seatbelt prior to the taking off of the aircraft.
In an attempt to revive her, the flight crew and emergency personnel, according to a representative for Qantas, were unsuccessful.
Daily Mail Australia was informed by the spokeswoman that “our thoughts are with her family and loved ones on this tragic occasion.”
A report will be prepared by the Victoria Police Department for the coroner.
Monday was the day that the airline was informed of the TB diagnosis that Ms. Kaur had received, and they immediately called the National Incident Centre Operations to get further information.
next the announcement that it had initiated limited contact tracing the next day, the Department of Health in Victoria said that it would notify everyone who was identified as a possible risk.
