"A spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration said Baker, who had nearly 40 years experience as a pilot, was flying at 200 feet about 2miles from the airport when contact with his airplane was lost. There were no severe weather problems reported in the area and Baker never indicated he was in distress."

I'd bet heart attack, stroke or seizure.

I bet he flew into the water in perfect control.

It's called controlled flight into terrain and it happens all the time.

Only happens to you once, though.
