That article surely is a ride, I mean...

The right-wing party Alternative for Sweden, for which Lundström ran in the 2021 elections, confirmed his death in a Facebook post on Tuesday.

Didn't know he was right-wing.

On Monday, rescue teams discovered parts of the plane inside the cabin but were unable to identify the pilot.

Sounds like a movie plot.

Lundström was the heir to Swedish crisp bread producer Wasabröd.

Heh.

To be honest, crashing a small plane in that area is not that out of the ordinary, I happen to know some people who died there in a plane crash. The more open airspaces there have a low ceiling, and there is a lot of bad visiblility and high mountains. If the weather is not good, you simply shouldn't fly, or go higher and file IFR, otherwise it's very dangerous for CFIT incidents.
