Perhaps if he were listening to the frequency, he would have been given
the correct altimeter setting in a handoff and realized that he was
about to descend into the water.


On what basis do you assume he had the wrong altimeter setting?



Or perhaps the controller could have advised him that the weather at
the airport was below Night VFR minimums and he would have diverted safely
to another airport that was safe.


The weather was well above VFR minimums.



Or perhaps his wife sitting next to him would have stopped bitching at
him for being late for their wedding plans long enough to let him
listen to the frequency and fly the plane.

Or perhaps talk on the frequency would have woken him up from his
"zoning out" because he was tired and on medication.


Why would the chatter on the frequency wake him if his wife's bitching could
not?



Or perhaps he was suicidal and the whole thing would was done on
purpose.


Do you have the evidence that he was suicidal?



Who knows what the conditions were or what situations might have
improved it. Your guess is as good as mine. But that's kinda the point,
isn't it...


Actually, your guesses aren't very good at all. While other's guesses are
based on logic and probability yours are based on your own whims.
