Depressurization would have frosted the windows. Hypoxia is the human loss of oxygen. It could have many causes.

There was a recent General Aviation crash because a supplier of oxygen bottles filled some with pressurized atmospheric air instead of pressurized O2.

The pilot suffered hypoxia, passed out and was subsequently killed.

Another case was a faulty O2 line that leaked. The copilot suffered hypoxia and fell into unconsciousness but the pilot survived and landed.

None of these hypoxia cases frost windows.

You missed the point.

" McSpadden said that based on known information, two factors likely could have led to the crash, hypoxia or rapid decompression."

What caused his "Hypoxia"?

N611VG Was NOT a loss of Pressurization. Part I

N611VG Was NOT a loss of Pressurization. Part II

AOPA; and Richard McSpadden; should check this out also.
