just riding past the threshold of runway at YWOL, coming back from mac pass, when i spotted a Cessna 152/172 in the grass approx 20 from the sealed surface of the runway, doors open, and its nose buried in the grass. obviously less a nosewheel and with a very bent prop. looks from a passing glance to have landed short.... any news? pilot looked to be healthy waking around the aircraft..

If the pilot was just waking, that explains the landing!:}

Or, he might have been "waking" over his deceased passenger.
