Analysis
The acft collided with gently rolling snow covered terrain. A small empty plastic medicine bottle labeled nadalol was found at the wreckage. Nadalol is used to control dizziness, fatigue & mental depression, & is basically a beta blocker. According to the plt's insurance agent, the plt had reiter's syndrome which is a triad of symptoms associated with mongonococcal urethritis, conjunctivitis & arthritis. However it could not be determined if the plt was then suffering from reiter's syndrome or how recently he had taken nadalol.
