I hope she's doing ok...

I remember reading a story (at least 10 years ago) about a British Airways flight from LHR to NRT in which the pilot suffered a fatal heart attack. Fortunately there were two pilots in the cockpit, so the co-pilot took over. I seem to recall that they proceded to Narita without diverting. I wonder if they announced that event to the passengers.
