Autopsy make no mention of heart attack or stroke.
that said, some form of in-capacity would be the only other logical explanation.
That said (again!), look at the facts we have, by the time he was asking for AT clearance, he must have already been some 10+ minutes into final fuel warnings - yet chose to make no mention of it?
to then have one engine flameout, NOT to attempt to put down imediatly before the other engine flamedout (we are told 4Kg's = ~2:25mins)
to then not autorotate on second engine flameout
Either the guy was out of it, or reckless...
I can't see any other logical explanation, unless the AIB come up with something radical...?
