Default Pittsfield MA crash?

Does anyone have any information on this incident? The brief news item I
heard said the plane was headed back here to Maine.

Boston Globe reports it was a MU2 heading from Hagerstown to Bangor at
17K when they lost radar contact. Witnesses say it looked to be
heading towards Pittsfield Muni, didn't make it, hit short in a field
belly first while spinning. Only the pilot on board, who was killed.

According to a witness quoted in one of the articles (an actual cut-n-
paste, all spelling courtesy of article's author):

-------------- start quote ---------------------------

John Boulais said, "It actually stalled, and it started coming down,
tale first."

-------------- end quote ----------------------------


Is the media telling tall tales again?
