more that there's a line at which they could potentially have saved the passenger and was the plane still in the air? did they know the emergency was ongoing? legally and honestly as a person who has frequent emergencies probably better to just land as soon as they know someone is dying and/or dead and let the on duty emergency services sort it out as a policy. they don't have the class of drugs i like on airplanes usually anyways.
if they need someone to sit next to someone who's passed, as long as they're in one or two pieces i can do it. i've handled enough people after they've gone. worked a few months in mortuary in college.
