In a tragic incident, a 10-year-old girl, who was travelling on an Air Canada flight from Toronto to London Heathrow, has died after suffering a cardiac arrest on a transatlantic flight.
The flight AC-868 was re-routed to Shannon Airport in Ireland.
Once the flight landed the girl was transferred to Limerick Hospital, where she later died, Daily Mail reports.
Air Canada said it was assisting the family involved.

The Boeing 787 flight, which had 230 passengers on board, later continued its journey to London at 9.20pm. 
The Irish Sun reported that the coroner's office has been informed and a post-mortem examination will be carried out. 
Neither Air Canada nor the Canadian government could immediately confirm the girl's nationality.
