Crashed in a wooded area inside traffic circuit pattern which is at 750 MSL. It appears that the a/c had just turned from right downwind 09 into the base leg when the engine failed. With the wooded area in front of him, at an altitude of probably 700-600 MSL at this point or even less, and several hundred meters to the turning point into final 09 resp. abt. 1 nm to the threshold 09, the pilot made a fatal mistake. Instead of releasing or slightly pushing the controls so as to gain speed, the pilot intuitively pulled in order to maintain or even to gain altitude. This caused the a/c to stall and to crash on a glade. Both occupants (pilot 84/passenger 74) were killed upon impact.
