    Is it not possible that the pilot who remained in the cockpit , has some sort of catastophic health issue such as a heart attack or stroke?

    It's possible but unlikely as even if the pilot had a heart attack and slumped over, knocking the stick controls, the plane was on autopilot and would need to be disengaged first. In addition to this, the other pilot could not get back into the cockpit meaning that the cockpit door had been locked from within.
