A mother of two traveling back to the UK to see her parents died in her sleep on a flight with her husband and two children, according to a grieving friend.
Helen Rhodes and her family were flying from Hong Kong to the UK on Aug. 5 when she “passed away in her sleep,” friends said.
“We are still in disbelief and shock about the sudden passing of our dearest friend whose life has touched many people in Hong Kong and the UK,” wrote friend Jayne Jeje on a GoFundMe post.
“Helen was found unresponsive a few hours into the flight. Despite all efforts, Helen was not able to be resuscitated.”
Jeje added: “This all unfolded in front of her children. For the remaining 8 hours of the flight, Helen lay in a breathless sleep in her seat.”
Her husband, Simon, and young kids, Nathan and Emma, are “devastated” by the “unimaginable” loss, Jeje wrote. The plane stopped in Germany where Rhodes’ body was left in Frankfurt while her family had to travel the rest of the way without her.
