Singer Aaliyah Was Carried Onto Plane Unconscious Before It Crashed And Killed Her

A Bahaman man who got to spend time with the late pop star Aaliyah just hours before she was killed in a plane crash, claims she never wanted to get on the  stricken aircraft in the first place and had taken a sleeping pill just hours earlier.

Kingsley Russell, whose family ran a taxi and hospitality business in the Abaco Islands, was just 13-years old on August 25th 2001, but he was with the star as his stepmother drove her team to the airport for her return flight back to the U.S.

Russell got to work with Aaliyah's entourage as her team's baggage carrier thanks to his aunt, Annie Russell, who ran a small hospitality business on the island.
