THE ACFT STALLED DURING A NIGHT TAKEOFF AND COLLIDED WITH THE GROUND. THE WEATHER WAS VMC AND NO FLIGHT PLAN WAS FILED. NO ONE WITNESSED THE TAKEOFF AS THE AIRPORT WAS CLOSED. IT WAS A DARK NIGHT AND THE STUDENT PILOT HAD NO NIGHT FLYING EXPERIENCE. THE PILOT SAID THE ACFT WAS PERFORMING NORMALLY WITH NO PROBLEMS AND HE SIMPLY STALLED DURING THE TAKEOFF CLIMB. THE PILOT HAS NOT SUBMITTED A REPORT AND COULD NOT ACCOUNT FOR THE FAMALE PASSENGER WHO WAS FATALLY INJURED IN THE ACCIDENT.
