Before I ask, (OK, I am asking) is that true and if so what effect does that have on opinion about the cause of the crash, which up to now from what I have seen was largely blamed on pilot lack of training and incompetence.
Chris, easy enough to go and read the report

“Causal factors
1. The pilot lost control of the aircraft during a manually-flown turn, which was probably initiated to remain in or regain VMC.
2. The aircraft subsequently suffered an in-flight break-up while manoeuvring at an airspeed significantly in excess of its design manoeuvring speed.
3. The pilot was probably affected by CO poisoning.”
