Pictures have emerged of an American Airlines flight attendant found dead with a cloth in her mouth in a Marriott hotel room at Philadelphia Airport.
Diana Ramos, a 66-year-old woman from Las Vegas, was scheduled to check out of the hotel for two days before housekeepers discovered she was unresponsive on Monday.
Police and paramedics confirmed her death at the scene around 10:45 p.m., but questions remained three days after her discovery.
Ramos “suffered a sudden death,” said Chief Inspector Scott Small of the Philadelphia Police Department, adding that her death was “suspicious.”
Sealed prescription bottles were found in the room, sources told 6ABC, adding that she was taking “multiple medications.”

“Everyone is still trying to figure out what happened and why her crew just abandoned her,” an unidentified American Airlines flight attendant told People.
“There are a lot of moving aspects and questions at the moment,” the person added: “Very sad.”
Ramos had been with American Airlines for 25 years. In one of her photos, Ramos was seen smiling in her American Airlines uniform.
The veteran was on a layover in Philadelphia after working on a flight from Los Angeles, where her crew was based.

“Our thoughts are with the family and colleagues and we are doing everything we can to ensure everyone affected receives the support they need during this difficult time.”
“We will continue to cooperate fully with local law enforcement in their investigation,” they added.
