Narrative:The aircraft was flying with 3 other aircraft, on approach to Saugeen Municipal Airport when it crashed and sank in Lake Rosalind some 40 feet from shore, in 15 feet of water. The pilot, reportedly yelling for help, was trapped inside the plane and was recovered by rescue crews minus vital signs. The pilot was a 72 year old retiree. He was rushed to Hanover and District Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Initial investigation results indicate the propeller was not turning when the aircraft crashed. Carburator icing is suspected.
