Default 30 Jun LS-4 Accident?

I presume you are referring to this accident in New Mexico. https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/226749

The report on this website is an irresponsible fabrication, except for the location and aircraft registration. The aircraft was not "totally destroyed," but did have damage to the leading edge, canopy and landing gear doors. The Coroner's report indicated the pilot suffered a heart attack, but managed to land with what I consider to be minor damage, considering the pain he must have been experiencing. He was found dead in the cockpit with no apparent injuries.

Just because it is on the Internet does not mean it is true. I know this must be a surprise to some of you.
