By Art Marroquin, Staff Writer

A passenger died Monday during an 11-hour Korean Air flight from Seoul to Los Angeles International Airport, officials said. The passenger, whose age was estimated at 70 to 80, apparently suffered a heart attack during the nonstop flight, according to Ian Gregor, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration.

The pilot reported a medical emergency aboard Korean Air Flight 11 and attempted to divert the Boeing 747 to Anchorage, but the passenger died before the plane reached Alaska, Gregor said.

The flight continued on to LAX, where it landed just before 1 p.m. Monday, according to airport officials.
