What happened to Enstrom VH-VDC?

Enstrom 480 VH-VDC has recently been cancelled from the Register as 'destroyed'. It had an accident way back in 2013. Has it now been involved in another accident or did it just get old like me?

It sat in a shipping container at Jerilderie for many years awaiting a rebuild after hitting power lines.
Obviously, it all became a bit to hard, and not worth rebuilding once you let something sit for too long.
Components and internals would have been rusty now after being in a heat & humidity box for too long.

Thanks Kulwin - what a waste of a helicopter. I wonder why repairs didn't go ahead way back in 2013.

Why put money into an orphan aircraft?
