Provisional cause of death: Hypoxic brain damage and cerebral edema "The public prosecutor's office in Graz/Austria has started investigations into possible negligent bodily harm. According to the APA news agency, these should help clarify the cause of the accident. The deceased crew member wore a protective mask, which Swiss admitted a year ago that it was partially defective ." ( Source 20Minuten) I have no words for this kind of negligence! "The problems ranged from difficulties in unpacking to malfunctions. At that time, Swiss announced the replacement of almost 1000 of these smoke hoods. However, as the airline confirmed to the Tages-Anzeiger, this replacement has not yet been fully completed. The plane, which had to make an emergency landing in Graz, was equipped with those masks that were still to be replaced." (Source 20Minuten) The carelessness, no, the flagrant negligence to replace safety equipment that was known to be flawed results in the loss of a young life with everything still ahead of him! Removing the old masks and replacing the new ones is easy and can be done during any night stop! *This excerpt is taken from an update on 20Minuten / Switzerland

On December 30th, Swiss had to announce the death of one of its employees after smoke appeared in the cabin during flight LX1885 a week earlier and the plane had to make an emergency landing in Graz.
The crew member had to be taken to the intensive care unit, but he could not be saved. The exact cause of death was not yet known. The public prosecutor's office in Graz has now confirmed that the body has since been examined. " The provisional diagnosis of the cause of death is hypoxic brain damage and brain edema," spokesman Hansjörg Bacher told the newspaper. In other words, this means that the brain was "massively damaged" due to severe oxygen deficiency. "The young flight attendant died of this in the intensive care unit." The autopsy also found "massive brain edema," a swelling of the brain. Chemical and histological tests will now follow to find out "how exactly this massive brain damage came about." There were also indications of purulent bronchitis and an "extremely enlarged heart" for the young man's age. "It is unclear whether there is a connection with the cause of death," Bacher continued in the "SonntagsBlick". "We are also still looking into the role of the respiratory mask that the flight attendant was wearing." The Federal Prosecutor's Office is also taking action . The crew member was wearing a mask that was found to be prone to errors as early as 2023. The airline began replacing the masks, but this was not yet complete. The Graz public prosecutor's office has begun investigating possible negligent bodily harm. Lau is also taking action against the Swiss Federal Prosecutor's Office. Although criminal proceedings have not been opened, they are in contact with the Austrian authorities, who are already investigating.

Update to previous article : SWISS mourns the Death of Cabin Crew Member According to information The Aviation Herald was given, the left-hand engine seized due to an uncontained failure, raising the possibility that the main shaft was shattered. The smoke was caused by an oil leak. The engine is being replaced. (Source Aviation Herald 31.Dec. 2024) Other reports by Keystone-SDA state that the damaged engine is being shipped back to the United States for examination by the manufacturer, Pratt & Whitney and an investigation by authorities. R.I.P.  SWISS Airlines announced on December 30th, 2024: "...with the deepest of sorrow and regret, that a member of the crew of its flight LX 1885 of 23 December has died in the hospital in Graz, Austria.
