Captain Ilcehin Pehlivan, 59, reportedly lost consciousness after the Airbus 350 plane took off from Seattle. After initial medical intervention failed to improve his condition, the crew decided to make an emergency landing in New York.

The airline said the captain died before the plane landed.

Turkish Airlines said the pilot had last undergone a periodic medical examination in March, which had not revealed any issues that would prevent him from performing his duties.
