Let's hope that's a perception rather than a reality.
A dead passenger is dead, but if he has 'passed out' or is dying the concern should be the passenger not the airline. If the passenger needs immediate attention that should be given there and then. If they need to get to a hospital asap then it should be for their sake not for the airline's.
