They said clear to land and the pilot replied and then massive coronary.


That would have had to occur within the temporal window of opportunity
bounded by the time the gear was extended and the time of impact, a
period of probably a couple of minutes at the speed the aircraft was
alleged to have been traveling. (What's the old saw about preferring
luck to skill?)

The other questionable issue in this hypothesis, is the necessity for
BOTH pilots to have been stricken simultaneously.
