FWIW, the nearest airport to Calabasas (KVNY) has been reporting IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) with 2.5 Statute Miles Visibility and 1500 Overcast most of the morning.

I have a lot of helicopter experience as a reporter, and while those conditions are not out of the realm of possibility, it is most certainly a contributing factor, barring catastrophic mechanical issues.

The terrain gradually increases going West toward that area from KVNY, and most likely he has/had a house in the hills with a pad. Regardless, pure speculation on my part, and while I am not a big NBA fan, this deeply saddens me.

****!
He commuted from that area by helo during his playing career, didn't he?
