I believe that is a USCF rule.
if I remember correctly, FIDE always restarts from the original error regardless of how many moves have been played?

I was playing in a CFC-rated OTB tournament at the Student Union Building at the Fredericton campus of the University of New Brunswick. One of the older players a couple of boards down from me keeled over right in the middle of a game. Heart attack.
After the emergency crew came and collected him, the tournament director walked back to the unfortunate man's board, studied the position for a moment, muttered "He was losing anyway." and walked away.

C. J. S. Purdy also died of a heart attack during a tournament. he fell to the floor and his son playing a few boards over rushed to his side.
As his son held him, Purdy said" I have a win, but it may take some time."
