If he is around to tell the story, he didn;t need last rites any way.

Historically, the Sacrament is associated with death beds, but you don't have to be on your death bed to receive the "Annointing of the Sick." Today, the Church emphasizes the healing aspect of the Sacrament, both physical and spiritual.

James 5:14-15

Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven.
