Probably this Captain had SCA Sudden cardiac arrest.
Pity they did not have a defibulater on board as you have 10 mins to get it on, quicker the better and probably save his life.
I was told Gulf Air had an Arab training manager pilot experiance SCA in an efficiency meeting in their safety and survival school next door to their medical centre. They got the defibulator machine on him after 20minutes and found the batteries were flat. He died.
Probably that is why they were having an efficiency meetings.
This happened whilst the new German management team were trying to manage Gulf Air after the old Arab management team experianced A320 fatal crash.
Believe the Germans were then replaced by the Australians who seem now to be turning Gulf Air around.
