Philadelphia authorities ID American Airlines flight attendant found dead in hotel room with cloth in mouth

An American Airlines flight attendant found dead in a Philadelphia hotel room earlier this week with a cloth in her mouth was identified Thursday as Diana Ramos. 

Ramos, 66, was found dead at the Philadelphia Airport Marriott just before 11 p.m. Monday, authorities said. 

The Philadelphia Police Department has deemed the death "suspicious" and homicide investigators are probing for answers. No weapons were found at the scene and no arrests have been made, police said. 

AIR TRAVEL IS MORE STRESSFUL THAN GOING TO THE DENTIST, MANY AMERICANS SAY

Prior to Ramos being identified as the deceased, American Airlines issued a statement saying it was "devastated by the news."

"Our thoughts are with the family and colleagues, and we're doing everything we can to ensure all affected have the support they need during this difficult time," the airline said. "We will continue to cooperate fully with local law enforcement in their investigation,"

A flight attendant for the airline told Fox News Digital they spoke to Ramos' flight crew, which said that she was supposed to be the lead flight attendant for a flight from Philadelphia to Los Angeles

"The crew is saying they were staying at a hotel located inside of the Philadelphia airport," said the flight attendant, who wished to remain anonymous. "They didn't meet in the lobby for pickup as they normally would due to the hotel being located in the airport. No van shuttle being needed. 

"Upon reaching their gate and realizing that one of the flight attendants wasn't at the gate, the crew notified the gate agents they were missing a crew member and one of the crew members say that as far as they know, another crew member tried to call the hotel twice to get them to check on the missing crew member."

Authorities have not determined what caused Ramos' death or whether anyone was involved. Her body was taken to the medical examiner’s office for an autopsy, police said. The results are pending. 

A spokesperson for the Marriott previously told Fox News Digital that the hotel chain was cooperating with police. 

Cubs announcers rip Braves over 'absurd' play stoppage for Ronald Acuña Jr. after historic moment

Atlanta Braves superstar Ronald Acuña Jr. continues to make history

In the 10th inning of Wednesday night's game against the Chicago Cubs, Acuña stole his 70th base of the season. Last week, the Braves outfielder hit his 40th home run of the season during a game against the Washington Nationals. 

Acuña became the first player in MLB history to enter the 40-70 club. 

Moments after he stole the base, Acuña grabbed the base pad from the dirt as Braves fans gave him a standing ovation. The Braves also played a short video montage on the outfield big screen.

The Chicago Cubs' broadcasters took exception to the extended pause in the game. Announcers Jon "Boog" Sciambi and Jim Deshaies said the decision to stop the game and recognize Acuña’s accomplishment was "absurd."

"We’re really stopping the game to do a highlight montage?" Sciambi said during the Marquee Sports Network broadcast.

Deshaies then questioned the need to remove the base during the game.

"Can we get the base after the game? This is pretty absurd. I mean, it’s a hell of an accomplishment, but ...," Deshaies said. 

Sciambi reiterated his frustrations with the video montage. 

"Totally, but you can’t stop the game to run a highlight montage," Sciambi said. 

The Cubs are fighting for their postseason lives after missing the playoffs the last two seasons.

Shortly after Acuña made it safely to second base, All-Star second baseman Ozzie Albies hit a walk-off single to give the Braves a second straight one-run win over the Cubs. The loss dropped Chicago to 82-76, and the team is tied with the Marlins for third place in the NL wild-card standings.

"It’s really an incredible moment," Acuña told reporters after the game through an interpreter.

Acuña has hit 41 home runs this year. Alex Rodriguez had been the only player with 40 home runs to steal more than 46 bases in the same season. In 1998, Rodriguez had 42 home runs, 124 RBIs and 46 steals.

MLB added bigger bases this season to bring more base-running excitement to the game. 

Acuña and Los Angeles Dodgers star Mookie Betts are widely considered the front-runners for NL MVP.
