inspection of the seneca ZS-LTX

Looking at both props, none of the blades show any rotational damage, and also the throttle quadrant has all levers in the idle, feather, and cut-off position. The gear was fully down and locked, not sure why the pilot would have the gear down trying to land on extremely soft and sandy area; planes touched down at the lowtide portion of the beach....very soft. Plane flipped at least once, so wonder if the gear did that. Severe damage to the whole plane tearing off both wings at the roots. Very sad for everyone.
