camera caught it coming out of the clouds uncontrolled. Not sure, but may have already lost blade(s) by then.  Very nose down attitude.

https://streamable.com/bg0hwg Looks like a bird that lost airspeed while IMC to me. That wobbling spin left them in horrible settling with power with no time to recover when they popped out below 1000 feet

 If it was a M model then yes but earlier varients do not have an autopilot. Still some L models in the guard.

Auto pilot works above 60kts. Go below that and it kicks off.

Anyone with a FlightRadar24 subscription here that could pull up his flight path to see did he just drop out of the sky or see if there were some flight excursions in the minutes prior to?
