It's possible, but that doesn't seem likely based on the facts that were presented this morning.
He was breathing normally throughout the descent, according to the flight recordings.
And, he was only 28-years-old and medically approved for flight.
Also, what are the chances that he would just happen to have a heart-attack during the brief moment the pilot left the cockpit to reportedly use the bathroom?
Ironically, as I understand it, emergency entry into the cockpit by crew members was altered after 9/11. The crew can now only enter when access is granted from inside the cockpit. Helps keep hijackers out, but also kept the captain from regaining entry in this case.
