Narrative:

I was awakened out of my scheduled crew rest in the bunk room by the flight attendants. They informed me that the captain was 'passing out' and vomiting blood through mouth and nose. I raced up to the cockpit and witnessed exactly what they relayed to me. The flying first officer indicated the same as the flight attendants. He started to declare an emergency while flying the airplane with autoplt on. I helped the rn certified flight attendant with taking captain's blood pressure -- 70 over 40. Afterwards; I spoke to captain; and informed him that we were going to move him into the cabin. He complied. He was able to stand up with our help and walk back into the cabin. I then prepared the captain's seat for us to situation in. I laid papers and blankets and plastic down on seat. After that the other relief pilot stepped up to assist the flying first officer with proceeding to ZZZ for landing. I then called dispatch and spoke with the dispatcher and told him what had transpired. I relayed as much information that I could think of and discussed the fact that we didn't have a captain to taxi the airplane to the gate. I told him that we were approximately 50-60 K pounds overweight for landing and what effect that would have on the airplane. He said it wouldn't be a problem. We then were cleared direct to ZZZ and came in below the clouds and landed; taxied to the gate without incident. It happened rather quick. I guess that from the time that I was awakened from a dead sleep to the time we taxied in was approximately 50 mins.
