Maybe the doctor is wrong, you can't be sure. Land. I see this as a no-brainer, even if you have to inconvenience a thousand people.
I would think that a DOCTOR should be able to tell if someone has croaked. Lets change the routing a bit,..lets say they were enroute to Japan from the U.S. and the same thing happens while you are 45 minutes from a divert and landing at Shemya. Clipper,...I'm eating noodles in Narita that evening. You can do what you want.

You're right. Doctors don't know if someone is dead. How could they know? Only God knows, right? Maybe we should start digging up people in the cemetary who might have been accidently buried alive since afterall, they might still be alive!!!! I certainly hope you're not a captain as your decision making skills leave a lot to be desired. I bet you're still wondering why the Titanic didn't pull over to the closest boat repair shop and get the hull damage fixed..............
