It was a Cirrus 20, a plane that really looks like a helicopter: |

7. Four-seater, easy to mistake for a chopper as it fell... |
|
That's a pricy airplane!!! Sounds like a MAJOR pilot error or perhaps a heart attack, carbon monoxide, etc...
???

11. Did you see the Cockpit picture above? Looks like a fly-by-wire set-up... |
|
...so it could have been a computer failure too.
I don't know really, but I don't think I'd want to fly such a small plane with only a Joy-stick, those control systems scare me.

8. They have a parachute, a big parachute, in case they stall. |

really, though this obviously happened too fast for that to be of use.
