It means that you got lucky and he will lose on time.
What happens if your opponent dies at the chessboard ?

Would you claim a win ? I think I would. A manager of an English football once said that football was not a matter of life and death, but much more important...No less could be said of chess.
Though in fairness to the just deceased player, I don't think it should affect his grading.
you... forget about chess and start first/aid CPR or get someone qualified to to do it if you're not.

He's dead. Start mouth to mouth on a stiff and you risk being charged with interference with a corpse. Plus you're a necrophiliac and might be contaminating evidence
Dying at the chessboard is punishable by death, and/or a 5-minute time penalty.
If your opponent dies at the chessboard, you really have thought him to death.
Dieing at the chessboard is strictly prohibited; anyone caught participating in such activity would immediately forfeit the game. They would also be severely reprimanded by FIDE and suspended from all FIDE tournaments for the duration of their next life.

According to Fide rule 6.3.7, the game is declared a dead draw.
What version of Fide rules are you referring to? Because current rules don't have a 6.3.7, see http://rules.fide.com/images/stories/downloads/laws_of_chess_1_july_2014.pdf
I know some remarks on this thread are just jokes, however your remark didn't sound like one, because I would think if this happened in an otb tournament the game would indeed be declared a draw. If it would happen in internet chess I would think it would be timeout before you would know that the player had died, if you get that information at all - someone who knows him will have to give that information to the website or else you never know.

If my deceased opponent was Irena Krush, I wouldn't offer her a draw, because she would consider that rude.
Stop the clock, call a doctor and start CPR immediatly.
wow interesting!
I see a possibilily of murdering the appropriate player in order to win a tournament.

Yes, interesting, and the way I would wish to go - but not just just yet.
I can see it all now. Your opponent dies at the board. You breathe a sigh of relief and make a boring move with a big grin on your face. Other players gather near the board and give you disapproving glances for trying to win on time against a dead guy. Soon all the players avoid you but give you a blank stare any time you are near. Even the arbiter looks at you like you are a freak.
I think players who die during online games should be banned.
Banning dead players from chess sites makes more sense than quite a lot of other stuff on them.

True, but they then post as Zombies..
Just a reminder . . . . Death at the chessboard is the 36th consecutive forced move after the dual Exchange sacrifices concluded on move 17 of Von Goom's Gambit Reversed (Black pieces). This can be sidestepped by White only at the cost of perpetual loss of liberty in a Mexican ca`rcel.
