The sudden death of Stefanie Smith, a 41-year-old mother of two, on a flight from the Dominican Republic to the United States has left her loved ones devastated. The autopsy results have now been released, providing some answers to this tragic incident.
According to her brother, Chris Volz, Smith’s death was a result of natural causes. It was determined that she had a carotid artery dissection in her neck, which led to her untimely passing. The autopsy ruled out any foul play or suspicious circumstances.
Smith became ill during an American Airlines flight to Charlotte, North Carolina, where she was traveling with her boyfriend and another couple after spending five days at a resort in the Dominican Republic. She began convulsing in her seat, prompting the flight’s medical personnel to intervene.

Smith leaves behind an 18-year-old son and a 16-year-old daughter, who are now faced with the devastating reality of life without their beloved mother. Plans are being made to return Smith’s body to the United States, adding another layer of complexity and emotion to an already challenging situation.
