A flight attendant has horrifyingly been found dead in a hotel room with a sock in her mouth two days after her scheduled checkout, sparking a chilling mystery.

Mystery surrounds the death of a 66-year-old American Airlines flight attendant, who was discovered lifeless in her Philadelphia Airport Marriott hotel room. The deceased woman was found unresponsive by hotel cleaning staff on Monday evening. Medics were called to the scene, but tragically, they pronounced her dead at approximately 10.40pm. Law enforcement sources have reported that there were no apparent signs of forced entry or struggle, and no weapons were discovered inside the hotel room.

However, sealed prescription bottles were discovered within the room, hinting at the presence of medications, sources told ABC News. Investigators have noted that she was on "several medications," although details regarding the nature of these medications have not been disclosed.

Previously, another American Airlines flight attendant collapsed in front of her horrified colleagues during a flight from Venice to Philadelphia. Cabin crew members made 'valiant efforts’ to save the life of Carol Wright after she unexpectedly collapsed just a short time after takeoff.

The pilot diverted the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner to Dublin after declaring a medical emergency on Wednesday, June 21. Once the flight landed, it was met by emergency services. Airport fire services and paramedics met the plane after landing, and Carol was taken to a local hospital, where she was sadly pronounced dead.

Airline insider @xJonNYC shared an internal American Airlines memo on Twitter giving an update on Carol. It read: "It is with great sadness that we share the sudden passing of PHL-based Flight Attendant and Purser Carol Wright while working a flight this morning.

"Carol began her career with American Airlines 38 years ago, and she loved her profession and the many friendships she created. She is remembered as a pleasure to support and a joy to work alongside.

"Any unexpected loss is extremely difficult, but please know that we are taking care of the colleagues who were flying with Carol. We are also in contact with Carol's family and will provide for their needs and any help they require as we assist with bringing her home."
