pax wanted to get off the plane during repair prior to accident

Hi, this is my first post because I'm not a pro (I do have a PPL SEL). I do have a questions for the pros, though. According to Spanish TV, at least one passenger wanted to get off the plane while it was being repaired at the gate. Ruben Santana, one of the victims, is said to have sent an SMS to a family member prior to the accident saying he wanted to get off the plane and that his request was denied. Question: shy would such a request be denied if the plane is at the gate and there is plenty of time for the pax to get off? Who would it be up to to grant or deny such a request? Thanks.
