SPAIN — A man's body odor that was so bad it forced a plane to make an emergency landing appears to have been suffering from necrosis and has passed away.<br /><br />According to Dutch media De Telegraaf, on May 29, the 58-year-old Russian guitarist was on a Transavia Airlines flight from Spain to the Netherlands.<br /><br />He smelled so bad other passengers became nauseous and some began to faint. The flight was forced to make an emergency landing in Portugal and the man was booted.<br /><br />Turns out the smell was caused from an untreated case of necrosis. <br /><br />Necrosis causes body tissue to die after being starved of oxygen. It can be caused by injury, infection, frostbite, and deep vein thrombosis. It can only be treated with surgery. <br /><br />Suchilin was eventually treated in Spain and was given antibiotics with doctors telling him he had an "ordinary beach infection."<br /><br />Unfortunately it wasn't an ordinary infection. <br /><br />The necrosis eventually spread to his kidneys, heart, and lungs. He passed away on June 25. <br /><br />Transavia Airlines issued a statement assuring there was no risk of infection.
