THE AG ACFT WAS FLYING LOW OVER A WATER COVERED MUDDY RICE FIELD WHEN THE ENG STOPPED RUNNING. THE PLT THEN JETTISONED THE LOAD OF FERTILIZER & ENTERED A STEEP RIGHT TURN. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK THE GROUND ON THE RIGHT WING & NOSE, THEN CARTWHEELED. A WITNESS STATED THAT HE THOUGHT THE PLT MAY HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN BACK SO AS TO LAND ON A DIRT ROAD. ONLY RESIDUAL FUEL WAS FOUND IN OR AROUND THE ACFT AFTER THE ACCIDENT. THE SURVIVING FLAGMAN/PAX STATED THAT HE WAS SURE THE ACFT HAD NOT BEEN REFUELED PRIOR TO THE FLT. THIS WAS THE LAST FLT OF THE DAY.
