The aircraft was occupied by a single pilot, is described as a high-time Cirrus pilot with a "lot" of experience.
According to someone at the local service center who spoke to [him] shortly after the accident - [The pilot] was in IMC and all his instruments went.
Jonzarno

The official recording stated water in the static system so are you saying he lost everything? If that is the case then this would be a serious worry for Cirrus.

According to someone at the local service centre sounds a wee bit vague and unfactual? And maybe a bit face saving by a highly embarrassed pilot

But hey this is not knocking Cirrus or the chute one bit! I am taking 50 hrs in one and am very convinced by the aircraft and the chute but hope I won't be pulling for 70% of the chute pulls quoted and if I did I would hide under a rock and pack it in
