What happens if a passenger dies during a flight? What do airlines do?

Cabin crews are trained to handle medical emergencies and potential deaths aboard flights. Resuscitation efforts continue until a medical professional deems them futile or impossible. A death on board does not automatically trigger an emergency landing for the aircraft. The deceased are treated with dignity while minimizing distress for other passengers. Airlines follow international guidelines and internal protocols for such rare occurrences.
