According to Daily Mail, the man, who was traveling alone suffered chest pains before he died. Port Authority this morning said he passed away from a heart attack, but this has yet to be confirmed.
Following his death, the U.S. citizen's body was handed over to the Port Authority who removed it from the plane, with the CDC allegedly providing little information on how to deal with the remains.
Throughout the 45-minute ordeal, the door connecting the aircraft to the terminal was left open, according to The New York Post . This prompted worries from Republican Congressman Peter King that there are not enough checks in place before reaching the screening process.
In a letter to the Department of Homeland Security, he wrote: 'It was what I was told a cursory examination. The Port Authority cops and personnel from Customs and Border Protection were there, and they were told there was no danger because the person did not have Ebola,' King said.
