I find it very interesting that the last few minutes of flight were erratic in altitude and speed. It doesn't look large enough to be a T-storm, but it certainly might show trouble with aircraft control...VFR in IMC conditions, etc.

On the (flightaware site) click on the (TRAC LOG) (8) lines down if there and that's where it is located. (Heart attack, Carbon monoxide, Flight instrument failure, Weather)?

I just red the NTSB report for this accident:

It seems he flew into IMC with a known malfunctioning attitude indicator (failure to maintain aircraft control).

Why, Why would anyone do that???
If that was the cause, it is truly sad.
