NTSB attributes fatal plane crash to pilot's spatial disorientation.

TL;DR Summary
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has released its final report on the small plane crash that killed weight-loss guru Gwen Shamblin Lara, her husband Joe Lara, and six others in Tennessee last year. The report suggests that the crash was likely caused by Joe Lara's spatial disorientation in heavy clouds, leading to a steep, descending left turn. Lara was rated to fly with instruments only, but struggled with multitasking and situational awareness. The crash was not caused by any mechanical malfunctions or medical conditions.
