Details of a Kenyan Man Who Collapsed and Died Upon Arrival at JFK Airport in New York
A Kenyan family is grieving the loss of a loved one who had travelled from Nairobi to New York City.
Stafford Osore, 36, who had flown to the John F. Kennedy International Airport from Kenya through Emirates Airline with a layover in Dubai, collapsed and died upon his arrival. Moments prior, Stafford messaged his family's Whatsapp group that he had arrived safely.
Stafford's brother, Felix Osore, who resides in New York, had arranged to pick him up but was unaware that his brother had collapsed. Felix was with his two children, a 7-year-old son and a 2-year-old daughter, during the trip to the airport. Regrettably, Stafford was not able to depart from the airport and died there.
Stafford was supposed to arrive at the airport around 4 p.m. but he did not show up. Mr Felix tried reaching out to him through the family WhatsApp group and phone calls, but he received no response. Despite his son's suggestion to go back home, Mr Felix drove to New Jersey to drop off the children and then headed back to the airport to search for his brother.
En route to JFK, he received a call from the New York Port Authority asking about his relationship with his brother and clarified that he was almost at the airport to pick him up. Mr Felix was briefed that despite the urgency with which Stafford was rushed to the hospital, he was pronounced dead upon arrival, much to the disappointment of those involved.

Its until you're hit ,that's when you realize that its not worthy to ridicule death.Kindly mind your comments especially to the grieving family
What a sad incident.One just never know when the call to the next world would come.Stay prepared at all times.RIP.
How do You prepare?🙄
You start by thanking your creater when you wake up.And tell him,if it is yourlast day on earth,he should prepare your bedroom "upthere"
You prepare by repenting all yours sins every day.
Accepting Jesus as your personal Savior!
Exactly my sister. We must be born again
Make sure your will is updated.But if you have no will and dont care,then this does not apply to you.Skip to the next question.
Kisii and magic. Shindwe kabisa
The village craft was faster than the aircraft.
Kenya is a very dangerous place especially when it comes to poisoning. It is comparable to Java or even worse. Poisoning is everywhere from clubs to hotels to people's homes. I was a victim myself so I know what I am talking about. There is no accountability. Kenya government does not prosecute culprits so if get poisoned you are on your own
Get that annual check up and bloodwork done. He was too young to die without having an underlying issue or condition that he probably didnt know about. Condolence to his loved ones
@CIru, that's good advise.So far we do know what finished this brother. There have been many cases where people who seemingly appear to be health have just colapse...
IF you are into sports,or not Iam sure you have heard of LeBron James.Is it not long ago when his apparenly healthy son had a heart attack while playing basket ball.Thanks to the quick response of the medical staff.I would think that it's safe to assume that LeBron's family, of all families would be in the fore front of check ups.
That said, sometimes some deaths even baffle the experts...
But I get your point.Its always very sad for someone to succomb to a situation that could have been avoided.
That’s so sad rest in peace till we meet again
Most likely died coz of a blood clot precipitated by sitting too long. Especially if he had predisposing factors. Move as much as you can on such long flights
I wish people would be sensitive to the comments they write especially after a death. There are loved ones who are grieving their loss and some comments just show no empathy
Continue resting in peace Fosta.
