The report above said there were "thunder heads" in that area the day of the crash. Single engine flying in mountainous terrain has it risks, but throw in some thunderstorms and the mix can become deadly.

There are potentially a multitude of reasons he may have crashed. It could have been mechanical failure, windshear, flying into a cloud that is obscuring a mountain or a health issue that incapacitated him.

They will be able to make some conclusions from what is left of the wreckage, but the sole answer for the crash may never be known.

It is a shame to see such an adventurer meet his demise in this manner.
