A BBC documentary about British Airways has revealed the techniques which flight attendants use to deal and disguise people who die when on flight.

According to the Sunday People, to avoid chaos in between the aircraft cabin crew has to use some bizarre methods to hide the dead body, the Mirror reported.

A woman trainer told that earlier they used to mask them with vodka and tonic, a newspaper and eye shades but now they just cover up the body with blanket up to the neck.

It is not respectful to put a dead person in a toilet and also if they are not strapped in while landing they could end up on the floor which would make it hard to move them, she added.
