       He lost consciousness just 45 minutes before the plane was due to land in New York after an asthma attack, Jewish News reports.

       The crew attempted to give him oxygen - but it's understood they were unaware that his airways were closed due to his asthma.

       The man, from Stamford Hill in London, was also given CPR - but he sadly died.

       An investigation by a coroner is due to take place at a later date.
