The pilot reported that while the airplane was on final, he noticed he was getting too low so he added power. When the throttle was advanced, the engine lost power, and a restart was not possible. The airplane came to rest in a marshy area 400 feet short of the runway. The reason for the loss of engine power could not be determined.
Probable Cause: a loss of engine power for undetermined reasons. A factor was the unsuitable terrain for the forced landing.
