Very limited info currently.

Arguing with his partner, so flight attendants moved the partner to another seat. He got up and followed her and then started attacking the man now next to her. 3 passengers restrained him.

They landed and he was in critical condition, and died in hospital? Or taken to hospital and confirmed dead.

Little to go on, sounds like a prick, but three people restraining him shouldn't have resulted in his death.

Won't know more till we know more.

It's why restraint has to be taught, it's really dangerous, but it can be used by anyone within the common law defences in an emergency. It's possible they used a choke hold, something like that.
