Man died after airline delayed medical help until others left plane, suit says

  • John William Cannon, 62, died in April 2023 after American Airlines allegedly delayed medical assistance until all passengers deplaned, according to a lawsuit filed by his family.
  • The lawsuit claims Cannon exhibited signs of severe medical distress before boarding a subsequent flight, yet he was still allowed to board.
  • Cannon became unresponsive on the flight, and despite emergency services being called only after landing, he was pronounced dead the next day.
  • The Cannon family is seeking at least $75,000 in damages, alleging negligence and a culture at American Airlines prioritizing inaction over intervention.
