I would think it would also have an associated eicas message and is connected to an aural warning unit on a plane that new. At least a master caution or warning bell associated with the eicas message.
I don't know how high the TBM was but if it was rapid decompression, the pilot probably would've been able to do something about it from an altitude most turboprops operate at. Even without a quick-don mask. I would guess a gradual and undetected problem that led to sleep and then death.
Total speculation at this point though. For all anyone knows, they got hit by an asteroid.
