Read the full NTSB narrative
THE HIGHLY MODIFIED AIRPLANE WAS OBSERVED IN A NEAR VERTICAL DIVE BEFORE IT IMPACTED INTO A MARSH. NO MECHANICAL OR MEDICAL REASONS WERE FOUND FOR THE CRASH. ALTHOUGH TOXICOLOGICAL ANALYSIS INDICATED A BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVEL OF .11%, THERE WAS EVIDENCE OF POSTMORTEM DECOMPOSITION, INVALIDATING THE RESULT. THE PURPOSE OF THE FLIGHT, REPORTEDLY, WAS TO PERFORM AEROBATIC MANEUVERS.
