Can a defrocked priest perform last rites, in an emergency?

I believe that in certain "extraordinary circumstances" a priest who has been removed from ministry may perform priestly functions. However, I'm not certain what those circumstances are but life and death situations might certainly be amongst them.

Don't you find that amazing? I mean really. A removed priest able to perform priestly functions at ANY time, nevermind life and death situations.

One more question, if I can: Can a priest who has not been removed for some reason, but the accusations and proof is there, receive the Sacrament of the Eucharist himself? Doesn't a person have to be 'worthy' of receiving it?
