Wasn't there one where the passenger (a pilot too) was asleep in the back,
and
was held to be responsible?

Not that I'm aware of. However, there's no specific prohibition in the FARs
against being asleep while acting as PIC, so that wouldn't be exactly the
same situation.

(Seriously though...if you can provide a reference, I'm all ears...sounds
pretty far-fetched to me though).
