DURING ARRIVAL, THE PLT DESCENDED FROM 10,500 FT TO 2300 FT, THEN CIRCLED A HOUSE 3 TIMES BEFORE TURNING TOWARD THE ARPT. AS HE ROLLED THE WINGS LEVEL & WAS PREPARING TO CALL THE ARPT, THE ENG LOST POWER. HE WAS UNABLE TO START THE ENG, SO HE ELECTED TO MAKE A FORCED LANDING IN A POND. AS THE ACFT WAS APPROACHING THE POND, THE LEFT WING STRUCK A TREE. THE ACFT THEN SPUN OUT OF CONTROL INTO A ROADWAY & WENT INTO THE POND WHERE IT BECAME SUBMERGED. ACCORDING TO THE PLT, THE FUEL GAGES INDICATED THE RIGHT TANK WAS AT LEAST 1/8 FULL AND THE LEFT TANK WAS 3/8 FULL. AFTER BEING RECOVERED FROM THE POND, THE ENG WAS STARTED & OPERATED NORMALLY.
