What happened
Following the issuance of a restraining order by law enforcement officials at his residence in Amherst, New Hampshire, the pilot was escorted from the property. The following morning, the pilot arrived at the airport and requested that his aircraft be removed from the hangar.
Before airport personnel could assist with the request, the pilot personally moved the aircraft out of the hangar, performed a preflight inspection, and departed the field. During the initial climb, shortly after takeoff, the pilot contacted air traffic control to ask for directional guidance, inquiring if Amherst was located near a "green water tower."
A neighbor observed the aircraft flying at a low altitude over the area, noting that it descended in a steep angle of bank. After the aircraft disappeared from view, the sound of three distinct impacts was heard. The aircraft had struck the pilot's residence, resulting in 1 fatality. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner of New Hampshire subsequently ruled the death a suicide.
