Owner’s Past, Pilot’s Age Raise Suspicion in Rivera Learjet Crash

Not similar to the Payne Stewart accident in that Stewart's Lear flew thousands of miles at FL320 (assumingly trimmed and on autopilot) before exhausting fuel and auguring in. If this was hypoxia and they all simply passed out and died wouldn't this aircraft have maintained it's heading at FL280 overflying Toluca and beyond. The early reports of this accident seem dubious.
Pilot Arrested, Charged for Doing Nothing

Sue the bastards... It will accomplish much. Mr Fleming will not receive an apology from law enforcement. The ensuing media attention and publicity generated will be his vindication. Secondly, if the report is true, a crime was committed against Mr. Fleming. By forcing Mr. Fleming to sign a non-disclosure agreement they sealed their fate. This case would be a slam dunk for any up and coming lawyer looking to make his mark. And finally to Stan 3818, do you honestly believe this situation was handled in a professional and responsible manner. If that was your son, father, or wife soaring that afternoon and this happened to them, would you feel the same way. And here is the scariest part, if for some reason Mr Fleming's radio was NORDO that day, he likely would have been blown out of the air.

Strongly disagree with chalete on this one. If the gentleman came stumbling out of a bar and got in his car, I would call the authorities with a description... It's anonymous and it might safe an innocent persons life.
Imagine arriving or departing KSAN with this bone-head in the near vicinity. No thank you.
Billfishjr the answer to your question is... contact any aerodrome personal and report the incident. It is your business... It's incumbent on you as a responsible person to do something, if only to mention the Baron's identifier to ATC on your initial call up.
In my part of the world believe it or not... one might be considered compliant or partially responsible for not doing so.
Just saying
