Sorry that happened! I'm thinking side effects from weight loss drugs or Adderal

I'm almost certain that he didn't make it. The plane landed and the EMT's were already at the gate; the passengers were instructed to remain seated, and the EMT's boarded right away and carried the man to a gurney right outside the jetway. I'll never forget how the man looked when the paramedics took him; white as a sheet and all the life sucked out of him. The passengers were all let off, and as I deboarded I got one more look at them trying to revive him on the gurney. I didn't want to gawk, but it did not look good.
