Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Health Department officials in protective gear swamped the Arik aircraft moment after landing at JFK's terminal 4, after the 63-year old man, a Us citizen died an hour before landing at 5;45am.
The unidentified man, who was flying alone in the first class cabin was vomiting and complaining of chest pain before he died of an apparent heart attack.
Passengers were held on the plane for an hour before the CDC officials determined that the dead passenger didn't have the disease that has infected more than 7, 500 people in West African countries of Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and has recently surfaced in Dallas, Texas. About 3, 400 people have died from the disease, officials said.
