Default Lost One Yesterday

We lost a friend yesterday in a Baron C55. He lost the left engine on
takeoff, apparently stalled, went inverted and lawn darted into the
ground, through a small grove of trees.

According to reliable sources, the gear was down an locked, flaps in
takeoff position and fuel selectors on "Aux".

Fortunately, he was the only one aboard.

Condolences to the family.
