Thanks for biting. This is a forum for professional pilots not a condolences forum. I think that we are entitled to discuss "operating the airplane".

If, as has been reported, the incident took place an hour out of Manila and the aircraft then diverted to an airport where a crew was available rather than a closer destination, this would imply that the captain was declared dead with no hope of revival. It would be interesting to know who made this diagnosis.
Unfortunately these incidents will continue to happen and it is important that we learn as much as possible from the medical experts amongst us.
