Actually, I would expect you would declare an emergency even if the person wasn't crew. You want to get any possible medical assistance on arrival in case any vital signs can be revived.
If a doc or paramedic pronounces somebody dead ressucitation attempts cease so to keep the passengers calm I guess they just continued to Newark. They did get priority though didn't they?
