I just spoke to Dan's wife, the accident did indeed occur last evening
about 9:00 p.m.  It was a mosquito spraying helicopter for that crashed
into the tower, the pilot ended up in the lot next door and was killed.

His house has been taped as a crime scene, investigators have been there
all day long.  Local Fox News reported that it was a private Tower
someone's lot with no lighting, insinuating that something was illegal
about it.  There were even comments by the governor of Florida about this
accident.

Dan and Mary Ann are quite upset by all of this, as one can imagine.
