It was interesting to read the "student's " response that 'the tow plane
did not rise up to take the slack out of the rope', apparently not
briefed on doing the tow, and what to expect.

There is some evidence that the tow was not going as planned and that the
pilot may have been stricken. Sad and unfortunate series of events.

This is a quote lifted from the coroner's contribution to the NTSB report.

"the likelihood is high that he did suffer some sort of cardiac event
which, while not immediately fatal, did so incapacitate him that he was
unable to control the plane or to even use his radio to alert anyone."
