The Massachusetts State Police confirmed to Fox News Digital that Barbara Dipoli, 53, of Topeka, Kansas, was found dead on board a flight from Paris to Boston on Tuesday, January 14. 

Officials said state troopers, along with the Suffolk County State Police Detective Unit, responded to an unattended death aboard Air France flight AF334 from Paris to Boston on Tuesday evening at Boston Logan International Airport.
