61-Years age is really quite young for anyone to die of "natural causes." Especially a pilot, those guys are checked and medically cleared on a regular basis.

I'm age-63, with two cancers from Radiation and Benzene exposures during the last 40-years, also survived a Cerebral Aneurysm 10-years ago, have had three bypasses to the left Femoral Artery, have Peripheral Vascular Disease, On constant Chemo for one of the Cancers, Constant Cancer Pain Medication, surgery last week for removal of a tumor of the other Cancer, am on constant Blood Thinners, had three vertebrate fused with a Titanium plate implanted in my neck due to Stenosis of the Spinal Cord. I can still dance all night and howl at the Moon 'till 4:00 AM, BP 112 over 66, a full head of hair, and clear sparkling eyes, and look like only 45.

So, do ya 'spose some large bright shiny object might have suddenly appeared in the Cockpit Window? Hmmm? :shocked: :yikes:
