The nose wheel and left wing impacted the earth approximately 42 -45 feet from wreckage resting site. Fuel was found in the right-hand tank approximately 6 inches deep as measured the aircraft came to rest with the aircraft right wing down 15-20°. The left wing showed minimal fuel (unmeasurable due to posittion of the aircraft). The nose gear was broken away and resting approximately 34 feet away from the wreckage. The aircraft engine impacted the earth and twisted 90° to the right and was facing in a southward direction. The engine was still connected to the aircraft frame and mounts. Both main landing gear were folded rearward. Paramedics removed the a pillars from the fuselage to extricate the pilot and copilot. Biohazard was found on site consisting of blood.

Both pilot and copilot cell phones were found within the aircraft and appeared to be functional. An ipad was located outside of the aircraft fuselage on the right-hand side on the ground and appeared to be functional. The aircraft key was found inserted into the ignition and in the "off" position. Mixture and throttle were in the full/forward position. Wingflaps were in the up position. The propeller was still intact and connected to the engine and does not show any signs that the aircraft was under power during the accident. One blade was bent back from earth impact. The opposite blade is partially buried in the earth, but still attached to the prop spinner. The. Pitot tube was clear and free of any obstructions. The leading-edge angle of attack (AOA) ports were clear and free of any obstruction.
