Starting from him being slouched over the control yoke...

?
1. get him off the controls
2. streighten him up and try to wake him
3. shake him, check his breathing and pulse
4. take control of the a/c
5. divert to cloest airport with proper services (if captain has a steady heart rate and pulse and destination si nto far continue destination,)
6. notify ATC of situation
7. do not announce to the pax
