The State - News from Sept. 2, 1986
An AIDS patient who won an apology from Delta Air Lines for barring him from a flight has died. The San Francisco-based Mobilization Against AIDS had threatened a boycott of Delta after Mark Sigers, 31, was removed from a flight Aug. 5 in Atlanta because he was not accompanied by a medical attendant. The airline later apologized and Sigers returned to San Francisco on Eastern Airlines. He died Friday at his home, 1 1/2 years after being diagnosed with acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
