Read the full NTSB narrative
The pilot of the amateur-built experimental airplane was receiving VFR flight following services when radio and radar contact were lost. The airplane impacted mountainous terrain in a vertical attitude. There was no evidence of airframe, powerplant, propeller, or flight control malfunction/failure. Autopsy was inconclusive and toxicology was not possible. The pilot's son-in-law said that approximately 1 week before the accident, the pilot had complained of shortness of breath.
