A BRITISH Airways cabin attendant has been found dead by her distraught colleagues after she failed to show up for a flight back to London.

The Mirror reports that her employer revealed Emily Dunn had a suspected heart condition after her body was discovered in a hotel room in Angola on July 16.
The flight was cancelled after the death and was later flown back to the UK empty, The Mirror reported.

"We were deeply saddened to hear of the death of our colleague, Emily, from a suspected heart condition," a British Airways spokesman said.

Dunn from Cheshire had only been flying with the airline for three months before her sudden passing.
Her boyfriend, James Griffiths, posted a recent picture of the couple together on Facebook shortly after learning of the tragic news.

Last week another British Airways worker died after contracting malaria while on a flight from the UK to Ghana.
