The captain (I presume) stated to Moncton Centre that one of the pilots apparently had a heart attack enroute and was being treated onboard. In the checkin with the low sector it almost sounds like he says that he was flying unassisted while the other pilot attended to the ill crewmember. But, I'm not sure, the recording is noisy in that part. The stress level in the Delta transmissions is obviously high.
I've attached edited audio from LiveATC.net in a .zip file that will open on most computers but not on most phones or tablets. The recording for the tower frequency had an open squelch on one of the channels and was unusable.
