There is a niche field of study concerning detection of fallen persons, so there are some references, though I don't know of a cascade classifier ready to go, you'll likely need to train your own (and Haar is considered inferior to traincascade now);

Detecting falls and poses in image silhouettes http://publications.lib.chalmers.se/records/fulltext/178169/178169.pdf

This next reference should apply directly to your need;

Fallen Person Detection for Mobile Robots using 3D Depth Data http://www.tu-ilmenau.de/fileadmin/media/neurob/publications/conferences_int/2013/Volkhardt-SMC-2013c.pdf
