An unconscious person cannot willfully turn themselves over. However, an unconscious patient should be placed on their side in the recovery position, provided there is no clinical evidence of a cervical spine injury that may compromise life. This position allows any vomit to clear from the patient's airway, and to avoid the tongue falling back and potentially causing an airway blockage.
Type 1 and type 2 PFDs are designed to turn an unconscious person face up.
I think what you do is you SLOWLY turn them over and then SLOWLY put your arms under them and lift them bring them to the nearest car or (if you are in war or anything like that) bring them to the nearest safe place. Get them medical attention immediately after that and hope for the best to come to them.
