They had done the trip 3 times in the last month, about 1.5 hours total.  I doubt running out of fuel because the ADSB coverage over there is great and will pick them up all the way to the ground based on previous ADSB data.  This aircraft literally vanished off the ADSB map while still at cruise altitude/speed and the wreckage is only 600' away from that point.  Even the worst possible auto the aircraft would at least transmit data on the way down.  Aircraft landed inverted with a main rotor separated from the aircraft and on said main rotor one of the blades is broken at the root or completely missing, picture quality hard to see.  Even a flock of geese I wouldnt expect a blade broken off at the attachment point.  Once better pictures show up that show where the other parts of the main rotor blades are it will become much clearer.
