Asiana ICN-ORD pax fatality w/ no divert, inflicting 10 hrs trauma economy section

Dear All,

2 or 3 hours after departure from Seoul Incheon Airport a passenger showed signs of medical distress and subsequently passed away. Where would enroute alternate have been at that point? Narita, Cold Harbor, Anchorage? Wouldn't RFF at enroute diversion airfields been better suited to handle this passengers medical needs? And what about medlink satellite communication? The flight continued for another 10 hours with the deceased.
