A nine-year-old girl died on a Lufhansa flight from Shanghai to Munich.

The aircraft made an emergency landing in Krasnoyark in Russia to seek medical assistance, but she had stopped breathing and had no pulse by the time the Airbus A340 arrived at the airport.

Medical crews from an ambulance tried to revive the girl, but they were unsuccessful.

She was an ethnic Chinese with Italian citizenship.
