Why can't you pronounce death in flight?
A doctor or indeed in some countries a paramedic can pronounce death perfectly legally subject to certain criteria. If not you would be ethically and possibly legally required to continue CPR until on the ground and a (different/another) doctor pronouncing death.
In a previous life I was assured that a (in my case) UK registered aircraft counted as UK territory and as such was covered by UK law. How a UK doctor on a Singapore airline (for example) woks I don't know.
Certifying death (in the UK anyway) is a different matter however.
