Seat Malfunction?

Are we going to find out whether the pilot was strapped in when the seat fired, and killed by a badly maintained parachute link. In which case why did the seat fire.

If he trod on an improperly pinned seat handle then the failure of the chute to deploy did not affect his fate. Presumably the proper questions will be asked. The press doesn't seem to have much of a handle on it.
