The airplane collided with a runway end identifier light after landing short of the runway, which resulted in a nose gear collapse and a propeller strike. During final, the sink rate became excessive and the pilot added power and decreased the pitch attitude on the airplane. The airspeed decreased rapidly so he applied full power and nose down pitch attitude. The airplane settled toward the runway in a level attitude and touched down left of the runway centerline, about 25 feet short of the runway. During the landing roll, the nose gear impacted a runway end identifier light.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to maintain the proper glide path and airspeed during final, which resulted in an inadvertent stall/mush.
