That's why I theorized a heart attack but carbon monoxide sounds plausible, too.
The plane was straight and level and then for some reason just rolled over and fell out of formation with no apparent attempt to recover.
They may never release the pilot's autopsy. We'll have to wait for the final NTSB report a year or so from now.

Something similar happened to a friend of mine flying an L39.
I believe it was found that a bird went through the canopy and the pilot "lost it".
It is definitely incapacitation.
