R22 Beta missing on flight from Nunavut to Greenland

So let me get this straight......
He swam 50 meters in a survival suit full of frigid Arctic water, managed to drag himself onto an ice flow. Survived 3 polar bears and two nights on the ice and managed to attract Coast Guard with his last flare.....Guy should buy a super Max lotto ticket.
Do we actually know the real reason he crashed. Was it mechanical or did he get into trouble in fog with no reference? I read somewhere his airspeed was down to zero knots. Almost sounds Hollywood!!!! Maybe he should read 'Death on the Ice ' about 70 odd Newfoundland boys who froze to death stuck on an ice flow for two nights off Labrador.
