Default Bizarre Fatal Accident-Suicide?

Over the weekend an 84 yr old man apparently unfastened his seatbelt,
climbed out of the cockpit of the biplane he was riding in and stepped
off to fall to his death. He hit some power lines that appeared to cut
his torso in half and the parts plunged onto an apartment building.
The pilot attempted to grab the man but was unable to do so. They were
on short final into SEE (San Diego, CA).
Anyone else got more details?
