'Unconscious' Indian expat lying unnoticed at Sharjah airport for 15 hours sinks into coma

A 51-year-old Indian expatriate who was found unconscious at Sharjah International Airport, 15 hours after his flight took off, on July 3 is now reportedly under coma at Dubai's Rashid Hospital.

The Gulf News reports that Sambandan Siva was waiting to board his flight to Chennai when he fell unconscious, but was discovered only the next morning.

Siva, who works with the UAE-based Al Huraiz Group, had taken a month's leave to go to Chennai as he was not keeping well.

Siva's employers, who are shocked that he went unnoticed for 15 hours, said that his condition was critical.
