ATC help passenger land King Air after pilot dies

First kudos to the passenger that noticed the plane climbed thru the assigned altitude and then was able to keep calm with his family's life in his hands. Then secondly, equal kudos to the quick thinking controllers to get their King Air rated friend on the phone, who relayed checklist and min/max items to the pilot via ATC.

BTW, the King Air instructor was quoted as saying that a King Air is one of the most complex twin engine planes on the market to-date. Personally, I don't know, I still bounce my C172 landings.
