Summary
Los Angeles County records identified Rain McMillan Walmsey, 22, as the passenger who died Aug. 7 after a medical emergency aboard Southwest Flight 958 from Dallas to Los Angeles.
The medical examiner listed his place of death as "LAX Southwest plane" and marked the cause as deferred, meaning investigators are still determining what triggered the emergency.
CPR was performed on Walmsey during the flight, and paramedics met the plane at LAX, but he could not be revived and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Southwest confirmed a "medical incident involving a customer" on the flight and referred further questions to local authorities as the investigation remains open.
The death adds to several recent fatal in-flight medical emergencies, including cases on Air France, SkyWest and Fiji Airways flights in 2024 and 2025.
