There's no mention of that in the reports.
According to the lawsuit, about 30 minutes after the doctor had told the flight attendants that in her view an emergency landing was required, she was asked to come to the flight deck to talk to the captain. At that point they were about 90 minutes out from DFW. The captain again declined to divert. Five minutes later, the patient's heart and breathing stopped.
