From the story, “Pilot lost power while practicing landings and his attempt to restart the engine failed.” Well, there’s problem number one. NEVER attempt to restart an engine at pattern altitude and configuration! Divert your attention to flying the plane, period. A dead stick landing with a windmilling prop is tough enough, but to lose time trying to restart the engine just compounds the problem, IMHO.

Thanks for the link. Sad, but interesting!
