A man died on a plane on Wednesday. The Asiana Airlines flight was heading from South Korea to O'Hare International Airport when the man passed.

According to CBS 2, an elderly couple spent the last four months in the Philippines and were trying to get home to spend Thanksgiving with their adopted daughter and the woman's children.

However about four hours into the 12-four flight, Eugenio Rodriguez started feeling sick. The 82-year-old man was taken back to his seat and he started having breathing difficulties. His wife creamed for help and several passengers tried to assist the crew. They used CPR and a defribillator to try to revive Rodriguez.

"Her husband was just closing his eyes, but then I feel his pulse. It was still pulsating, you know, but clammy. So I tried to revive," passenger Maria O'Hara told CBS.

The passengers and crew spent 40 minutes trying to revive the man but his heart gave out and he was gone.

The flight landed at O'Hare at around 9 a.m. and Rodriguez's wife had to be taken off by wheelchair.

Asiana Airlines released a statement about the incident to CBS, saying "In the flight, our cabin crew used defibrillators. There were 4 medical doctors at that plane and they help. The doctors and our cabin crew tried to their best to save him. And we also have training program for using defibrillators."

The sudden was hard on the family, especially with the holidays and other events going on.

"Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and his birthday would be on Sunday, so it's really very painful; very difficult for us," his daughter Marilian Solomon told CBS.
