American Airlines Sued After Man With Alzheimer’s Goes Missing From LaGuardia

When American Airlines lost her Alzheimer’s-afflicted dad, a desperate Keraphline Dupuy hunted for three days before he was found wandering the streets of Brooklyn. The sick man was freezing cold, soaking wet and 25 miles from LaGuardia Airport, with no recollection of the previous 72 hours.The airline offered no apology, no explanation — just a refund of $304.60 for the ticket Josaphat Dupuy never used last Jan. 16. “I want American Airlines to take responsibility for what happened,” Dupuy told the Daily News about the ordeal suffered by her family — which plans a federal lawsuit against the company.
