A local incident that just happened yesterday. It would be tempting to speculate on the cause. Sad the pilot did not make it, but lucky for the dog.

The Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash of a float plane on Abram Lake near Sioux Lookout.
Board Spokesperson Chris Krepski says initial reports suggest the amphibious Cessna 206 was trying to land on Monday when the aircraft flipped over into the water.
OPP say the pilot, a Sunfish Lake, Minnesota resident, was transported to the Meno Ya Win Health Centre where he was pronounced dead.
Constable Jodi Peckford says that a dog which was also in the airplane was found later on a nearby island.

That's too bad. What happened? Did he have his gear down?

I have not heard yet, but my guess was that he landed wheels down. Chances of surviving a wheel down are just not that good.
