Hi:
Sorry to learn of your fathers' demise. I've read the posts by others and have to agree, somewhat. While in the air, the likelyhood is remote, however, on the ground in humid areas one can expect high condensation to occur on the HX coils. If the pans, coils, are not properly maintained then the POSSIBILITY, though not a high one, exits.
