An Air Canada flight bound for Australia had to be diverted to Honolulu because of a dead passenger. Passenger Christopher Woodgate, 38, was pronounced dead when the flight landed in Honolulu on Saturday, said Kira Paiva-Kimura, an administrative services officer for the Honolulu medical examiner's office. The flight from Vancouver was headed for Brisbane when it diverted to Honolulu because of a medical emergency, said Peter Fitzpatrick, an Air Canada spokesman. "Out of respect for the privacy of our customers, Air Canada cannot confirm the details about the medical emergency," he said in an email. The passengers left Honolulu on Sunday on a different flight, Fitzpatrick said.
