An American Airlines plane was diverted to a Houston airport
after a 25-year-old woman died during a flight en route from
Brazil to Dallas Wednesday morning.  The plane landed at Bush
Intercontinental Airport around 7 a.m. and the woman, who has
not been identified, was dead, according to Houston Police
Department spokeswoman Jodi Silva.  The cause of death is
pending autopsy results with the Harris County Institute of
Forensic Sciences.  American Airlines officials said Flight 962
later continued to Dallas, where it landed about 10:25 a.m. The
Boeing 777 had departed Sao Paolo, Brazil, at 1:12 a.m. with 220
passengers and 14 crew members. The officials said the flight
was diverted to Bush for a medical emergency involving an ill
passenger, but they could not provide any further information
about the case.
