Report says Pilot Gary Vaucher was Ejected or Fell before crash!

This report, just out today identifies the person who was ejected or fell from the R44 before it crashed as being the Pilot, Gary Vaucher. The report also stated that he did not have burns on his body. Earlier news reports indicated that a witness said the person who fell was accompanied by two suitcases. This is a very strange outcome.

Link to Article:

Translated version of http://laestrella.com.pa/

find headline: "Pilot Fell Before" (you may have to look under most emailed links, or search the site for this)

Then look on that page under related links for: "Voucher Pilot Fell From 800 Meters" to see photo of parking structure damage.
