Before Salaam, the most recent Heisman winner to pass away was 1957 winner John David Crow (Texas A&M), and he passed away just last year.

Why wouldn't that make Salaam the first Heisman winner of the past
59 years to pass on?

He's probably counting Ernie Davis, who won the Heisman in 1961. However, Davis died in 1963 of leukemia.
