The Boeing 777 departed from Heathrow at 10.17pm on May 20 and was diverted to Bangkok, landing at 3.45pm local time (9.45am BST) on May 21.

A 73-year-old British man who has been named as Geoff Kitchen died during the flight after suffering a suspected heart attack. 104 patients were taken to hospital and medical clinics in Bangkok, with six Britons still in Intensive Care Units (ICUs).

In a video statement, Singapore Airlines CEO, Goh Choon Phong, said: “On behalf of Singapore Airlines, I would like to express my deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased.
