LOS ANGELES (AP) - A young girl died after she went into cardiac arrest on a plane flight to Seattle from Los Angeles International Airport, authorities said.
The girl, believed to be about 10 years old, was on a Delta flight when she had the medical problem. The plane, which was still over Southern California, returned to the airport, KABC-TV reported.

Airport officials said the girl died on the plane, KNBC-TV reported.
There was no immediate indication of anything suspicious about the death, authorities said.
