Here’s a couple post of the flight data and comms.
If it”s accurate and you know what to listen for around that airspace it paints a picture of a single pilot flying a Sikorsky S76 under SVFR helo rules when IMC conditions likely existed.
Having flown around there for years with multiple types of aircraft, and using a “special” Naval Instrument rating (0-0 takeoff and landing mins beyond FAA published mins.The joke was always that anybody with a “special” card was smart enough not to use it) and having run or reviewed for endorsement multiple mishap boards, I have my initial opinions but the mishap board will determine the most likely cause.
He’s ‘scum runnin” around the airspace in bad weather and not flying IFR. He’s in a superb executive commercial helo.

In that youtube the air controller radios you are still to low just before it disappears from radar. It sure appears the helo pilot flew it into the ground.
It will be interesting who was piloting and how much experience.
