And finally, the NTSB preliminary report:

If the report is accurate, we have a non-instrument rated pilot who,
when ACK suddenly "went IFR", "informed the controller that he was
capable of executing the ILS approach". Five minutes later, Cape
Approach informed the tower controller that the pilot had deployed
the parachute.
That sort of revives the stupid pilot theory.
