From what I recall, SR22 Autopilot will disconnect in severe turbulence.
Certainly seems like it was in use, then disconnected for whatever reason looking at that profile.
Unknown why the chute wasn’t deployed however. Has been a few Cirrus IMC events however still successfully deployed the chute and lives saved. However it could have been deployed, we don’t know.
Truly tragic event. No words.
