Probable Cause
Impairment and subsequent incapacitation of the pilot for reasons that could not be determined. The incapacitation resulted in a loss of engine power due to fuel starvation. Likely contributing was pilot hypoxia due to altitude exposure, possibly worsened by effects of undiagnosed pulmonary hypertension, by premature depletion of the supplemental oxygen supply, or by a combination of those factors.
