Coach trip continues with dead pensioner on board

When 40 pensioners from southern Skåne were on their return coach journey from an art tour in Vienna, one of the participants, an 82 year old woman, died. But the tour leader and coach driver, mindful of their tight schedule, refused to stop.

The woman died as the bus neared the ferry terminal in Rostock in Germany, reported Helsingborgs Dagblad.
