Emily Dunn-1A British Airways stewardess has been found dead in her room at a hotel in Angola.

Emily Dunn, 22, was found in full uniform by her distraught colleagues after she failed to show up for a flight back to London.

British Airways revealed she had a suspected heart condition after her body was discovered on July 16.

The flight from Angola, in southern Africa, to Heathrow was cancelled and later flown back to the UK empty.

Miss Dunn, from Congleton in Cheshire, began working for BA in May and was excited at getting her ‘wings’.

Emily’s mother and father Gordon and Sheree and her brother Robert were said to be together in their Cheshire home.

Her boyfriend James Griffiths, who lives in London, posted a picture of the couple together on Facebook after her death.

A British Airways spokesman said: ‘We were deeply saddened to hear of the death of our colleague, Emily, from a suspected heart condition.”

Her body has yet to be flown home.

Last week another BA stewardess died after contracting malaria while flying from Heathrow to the Ghanaian capital Accra.

An inquiry has begun into how the unnamed woman contracted the disease.
