An anti-Israel lawyer, who was imprisoned over a racist rant at airline staff, has been found dead after her release from prison.
Simone Burns, 50, was sentenced to six months' in jail in April at Isleworth Crown Court, having pleaded guilty to both assault and being drunk on an aircraft.
It came after she was filmed in November spitting in the face of one member of the cabin crew of the Air India flight from Mumbai to Heathrow.
The court heard her behaviour was uncharacteristic and influenced by drink, anxiety and fears she could miss a family funeral.
