This is a hypothetical situation where having the two person cockpit rule would help. Anyone who has ever experienced any sort of sudden psychotic episode, panic attack, blackout in which they do something inexplicable......occur in either themselves or a loved one - its not so far fetched. That type of situation is not considered malicious, its a switch in the brain that suddenly short circuits.
The timeline of events according to current information points to a deliberate act rather than medical causes IMO. Psychosis would suggest being disordered and incapable of planning.
