AIRCRAFT DEPARTED TRI CITY AIRPORT (3G6), ON RUNWAY 35, APPROXIMATELY 1830 LOCAL. THE PILOTS INTENTIONS WERE FOR A LOCAL TEST FLIGHT OF THE AIRCRAFT AS IT HASN'T BEEN FLOWN FOR AT LEAST THE LAST 4 YEARS. A LOCAL RESIDENT FOUND THE AIRCRAFT WRECKAGE IN HIS SOYBEAN FIELD. THE AIRCRAFT HIT NOSE DOWN ABOUT 1/2 MILE NORTHEAST OF THE APPROACH END OF RUNWAY 17. THERE WAS SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.THERE WERE NO WITNESSES. ON JULY 7, 2015 I SPOKE WITH THE MAHONING COUNTY CORORNER TO GET THE RESULTS FROM THE AUTOPSY. THE CORORNER INFORMED ME THAT THERE WERE  INDICATIONS THE PILOT WAS DECEASED BEFORE THE CRASH. HE MIGHT HAVE HAD A HEART ATTACK.
