Unhappy RV-9A down/tragic ending

This happened very close by:

http://www.kake.com/home/headlines/K...246762771.html

Funeral was today.

It was a perfect day to fly.
I was out flying that afternoon.
No weather, warm, no wind, and clear.
I have no details of the accident.

Prayer and condolences to his family.

The safety record of the 9A has been remarkable so it will be of interest to see what the cause and contributing factors were.

This is so sad... The second RV9 in a week.
He was a doctor and probable well known.
