He had an Icon A5 which is an amphibious Aircraft

In April 2016 the ICON A5 purchaser's agreement was made public and was noted by the aviation media as containing many controversial elements not usually found in aircraft purchase agreements. These include contractually required pilot training, maintenance, agreements not to sue, the requirement for factory airframe overhauls every 2,000 hours, or ten years (whichever comes first), and a limit on the aircraft's life of 6,000 hours, or thirty years. Furthermore, each aircraft would be equipped with a camera and recorder to monitor pilot behavior, that is owned by the manufacturer but must be maintained by the owner. Owners would have to agree to be "supportive" of the company. Future owners were required to sign the same agreement or face penalties.[50][51]

Looks strange.

Looking at his Twitter feed he'd only had the plane for 3 weeks or so.

Well that’ll be sad to see

RIP

This is why I will never learn to fly. I'd love to learn, but it always seems to be amateur pilots on small airplanes that meet their doom too soon. And I wanna live.

So sad. He was one HELL of a pitcher. RIP.
