Avweb's story, which has a link to NTSB's factual report, notes that
Scott Crossfield was not warned of adverse weather. However, he did
have access to XM Satellite Radio with a subscription to its basic
weather package. The autopsy likewise isn't suggestive of any
obvious causative medical issue (unless I'm misreading it):

I am hoping that ADS-B will help to prevent these kinds of tragedies.
Having real-time traffic and weather data streaming into your avionics
from ground stations should make all of us safer if we know where to
look for each other in flight, and we all give severe weather the
respect and wide berth it deserves...

While ADS-B will certainly reduce the number of WX related accidents there
is no reason to think that any significant percentage of single engine
aircraft will ever be fitted with it.- Hide quoted text -

I think that depends on how well the FAA does in getting a low cost
system in play like they claim they will...
