The man was left lying trembling on the floor for over an hour before he received medical treatment, as airport staff refused to touch him.
After losing consciousness he was transported to hospital where he later died.
At 5pm on October 18, police officers at Spain’s Madrid-Barajas airport reported that a man was lying trembling on the floor.
The airport’s medical team decided to call the Health Ministry’s specialist Ebola service which arrived 50 minutes later.
At 6.30pm it was finally determined that he did not have Ebola and an ambulance was called – he died half an hour later.
A post mortem revealed that the man was suffering the effects of a cocaine overdose after several bags of the drug had burst in his stomach.
