All the inputs into a plane's trim impact steering. If he lost all inputs then the plane would have been out of control and unable to fly straight. It would have just tumbled out of the sky. Think of what would happen if someone fainted on a motorcycle. Even if he had "lost steering", he would have been likely to have throttle control, which would have enabled him to climb out of immediate danger
