An SR22T inbound from PWA (Oklahoma City) to GTU (Georgetown TX) flew past its destination and continued southeast over the Gulf of Mexico where contact was lost. Flightaware link shows flight path.

I was just thinking that plane should not have a hypoxia issue.

Didn’t the same thing happen years ago to an LSU coach (new hire)?

They can be equipped with an O2 system. You need to turn it on though. They are certified for flying in known icing conditions, but I don't think there's a lot of moisture currently in that area.

Would this cabin be pressurized?

Also apparently some of the models have entire parachute systems.
