Spirit Airlines Sued for Negligence After Dementia Patient's Death on Highway

Spirit Airlines is facing a lawsuit from the family of Marcos Humberto Vindel Osorio, a 75-year-old dementia patient who died after wandering onto a highway in Houston. The incident occurred on June 8, 2024, after Osorio arrived at George Bush Intercontinental Airport from Honduras. Despite assurances from Spirit Airlines that assistance would be provided, Osorio was left unattended and later found dead miles from the airport. The lawsuit, filed on April 22, 2026, accuses the now-defunct airline of negligence. The family is seeking compensatory, survival, and wrongful death damages, citing mental anguish and loss of companionship.
