Looking at the circumstances I would bet so. Takeoff from a lighted helipad into the pitch black night over sea. End of flight just 2 minutes after takeoff.
Even with all the gizmos on board Occam's Razor would give a clear direction where this will be going. Whatever the detailed circumstances will have been.
