So it appears to be an ultralight aircraft and the pilot suffered a heart attack. I am assuming from the news report he suffered the attack whilst flying not because of the crash. The full details will no doubt be available later.
2013 has been a bad year for aviation particularly this spring. I can't remember a short period of so many losses as this.
