Good for you, BOX.

Interesting to see the usual suspects trying to jump on your head.

As PB said, idiots that mix recreational drugs and flying thoroughly screw it up for the rest of us. Sad that this guy died, but it would appear to be entirely his own fault.

Whether the "recent ingestion" of drugs was a factor or not may be debatable, but the fact that they were present at all tells you a lot about the amount of professionalism on display.

Sadly, it isn't even slightly surprising.

As for "not bagging a dead guy" - if the dead guy was stupid, he deserves to be bagged. Hopefully others may learn something. Being dead doesn't make you a saint.

Bottom line - low-level flying in an unfamiliar type + drugs = stupid

Same goes for going on a bender and flying the next day whilst still suffering the effects. Really, really stupid.
