...it is only within an hour of landing and 15 minutes of beginning the descent that he tried to awaken the left seat only to discover that he was unresponsive, not breathing and pulseless. Hence, no attempt to resuscitate.
Problem is, the FO had no way of knowing that the pilot hadn't just died. So he'd need to call up a doctor anyway.
