What should the worshippers do in congregational prayer if one of them dies during its performance?

The apparent ruling is that the death of one of the congregants does not necessitate interrupting the prayer, because prayer is interrupted for saving a life or similar situations. If the person has certainly departed this life, there is no need to interrupt it. If they complete their prayer, they then proceed with arranging his burial.
