Pure speculation, but sure looks like GLOC (g-induced loss of consciousness). Accident aircraft made a hard turn to rejoin, then nose drifted down to impact. GLOC would explain why he didn't eject - he was asleep, or comatose. Unfortunately, this is one of the most common accident causes in the fighter community - modern fighters like the Hornet can generate g-onset rates that far exceed a pilot's capacity to keep up with, regardless of g-suits or pressure breathing gear (although the latter helps a great deal).
