Oh, no, that used to be Ray Patchett's M912! The new owner and deceased pilot was Martin Pattie:

Until this crash, there had been no fatalities in any M912.
IIRC, 93% crashes resulted in only zero to light injuries, which is a testimony to its quality parts, rugged design, and pilot protection.

My deepest condolences to Martin Pattie's family and mates.
