The passenger who had caused a forced landing because of his stench last May, died of severe skin necrosis on June 25.
The media had made short work of it. On May 30, a 58-year-old man who emitted a foul odor aboard a flight from the Canaries to Amsterdam, forced the pilot to land urgently in Portugal. The situation was such that some passengers had vomited on board and the crew members had asked to Andrey Suchilin, theThe passenger in question, to stay in the toilet for a while so that the smell would dissipate a little.
In fact, the latter suffered from severe tissue necrosis after contracting a skin infection in the Canaries. Taken in charge when he got off the plane, he underwent several operations, without success, and finally fell into a coma. Popular Russian guitarist Andrey Suchilin died on June 25. Doctors said his skin infection suddenly changed to necrosis and worsened on the plane.
What causes the foul odor?
Necrosis is characterized by the premature death of one or more cells in the human body, resulting in the death of a tissue, then an organ. The pestilential odor which emanates from the patient is an evocative sign of the formation of yellowish creamy liquid in the event of liquefaction of the necrotic cells.
The brain is the fastest dying organ (3 minutes), followed by the heart (5 minutes) and kidney (15 minutes). The skin usually takes longer. It begins by blackening and drying out. The patient may also have inflammation of the wound and suffer from exudation. In ischemic necrosis – related to a stop in blood flow caused by a clot – the necrotic tissue may appear gelatinous. In caseous necrosis (typical of tuberculosis), the necrotic cells appear lumpy and become grayish.
Ideally, angioplasty and bypass surgery will allow limbs to heal and the already necrotic part will fall out on its own. Lamputation it avoids gangrene. But the speed with which necrosis spreads often makes it a fatal disease.
