OUR FLT DEPARTED ABQ ENRTE TO ORD AT PM25Z WITH MR PAX ON BOARD. MR PAX HAD BEEN BOARDED IN A WHEELCHAIR. AT PM50 OUR #1 FLT ATTENDANT INFORMED ME THAT MR PAX DID NOT LOOK GOOD AND SEEMED VERY ILL. HIS WIFE TOLD THE FLT ATTENDANT THAT HE WAS ON MEDICATION AND THAT HIS APPEARANCE WAS NORMAL. I TOLD HER TO KEEP AN EYE ON HIM. AT PM00; I SENT MY COPLT TO THE BACK TO CHK ON THE SITUATION AND HE RETURNED TO TELL ME THAT MR PAX HAD NO PULSE AND DID NOT SEEM TO BE BREATHING. THE FLT ATTENDANT REQUESTED A DOCTOR AND FORTUNATELY; WE HAD 1 ON BOARD. AT PM10 THE FLT ATTENDANT PUT THE DOCTOR ON THE INTERPHONE AND HE INFORMED ME THAT MR PAX WAS DEAD AND WAS PAST THE POINT OF RESUSCITATION. HE SAID HE HAD SPOKEN WITH MRS PAX AND THAT SHE TOLD HIM HER HUSBAND WAS A TERMINALLY ILL CANCER PATIENT AND THAT SHE WISHED TO CONTINUE TO ORD WHERE HER SON WAS TO MEET THEM AND DRIVE THEM HOME TO INDIANA. I CONTACTED OUR DISPATCH AND THEY AGREED THAT THE BEST PLAN WAS TO CONTINUE TO ORD WHERE THE PROPER OFFICIALS WOULD MEET THE PLANE ON ARR. THE DOCTOR PRONOUNCED MR PAX DEAD AT PM10Z.
