A passenger who flew from Egypt to Russia on the Siberian airline S7 Airlines, apparently committed suicide inside the services of the plane, according to media reports around the world.

The crew of the plane asked a doctor on the flight to go to the back of the plane, where the toilet door was broken, causing the passengers who were on board to panic.

They discovered the unconscious passenger inside the cabin shortly after takeoff from the Sharm el-Sheikh resort to the city of Samara in southwestern Russia.

Upon learning of the incident, the flight captain made an emergency landing in Cairo, where medics tried to revive the passenger without success.

Russia reported that the man's body was returned to the same plane.

Russia: "Examining the circumstances surrounding the incident"

The passenger was identified as 48-year-old Alexander Dukshin, who is estimated to have ties to the security services.

According to other details published in the Russian press, Dukshin was a car mechanic who had a wife and a young daughter.

It is estimated that he hung himself with a bag strap.

Russian transport investigators told the government news agency TASS that they were investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Russia resumed flights to Egypt's resorts in the Red Sea last August, following a six-year ban following the bombing of a Russian passenger plane in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula.

About 224 people were killed on October 31, 2015 as a result of the attack.
