Nope nothing shall I just feed him to my oscars?
Personally, I have never had a dead fish float in that position, but that doesn't mean its not possible. If you net him and there is absolutely no movement and if he is totally stiff, I think it is safe to say he is dead, but it sure is weird for him to be in that position, so I just don't know.
Even if he is dead, I wouldn't feed him to the oscars. You don't know why he died, so you wouldn't want to accidently pass on a disease to your oscars.
 
I had a female dwarf gourami die last week in the same position! I thought she was just floating there, mouth up, so I left her for a couple for hours. But she hadn't moved so I netted her and she was dead. Very strange.

Maybe it is thing that sometimes happens to labrynth breathers. Interesting.

That's what I was thinking. Trapped air making them float upright.

I wish my dwarf gourami died like that. Mine was folded in half stuck to the filter intake lol
