A Duke University professor has died after he had a midair medical crisis while piloting an airplane in North Carolina on Sunday. A passenger was able to take control of the single-engine plane, and managed to make an emergency landing at Raleigh Durham International Airport, according to WRAL. It is unclear what caused the pilot's medical emergency. The pilot, Joseph Izatt, was a prominent professor at Duke.
'He was an exceptionally thoughtful leader who weighed every decision with a care that originated with his deep love for the BME community,' school Dean Jerome Lynch said. 'The integrity and humility he brought as a school leader will be missed.' Izatt was touted by the Duke community as a skilled researcher who focused his endeavors on incorporating noninvasive technologies into diagnosing eye conditions and deciding treatment options.
