This is true, after all the tail plane of his Fokker was found some distance away from the wreckage/body. And without a tail plane connected to the aircraft, well you are pretty much damned.
If the poor fellow was alive, it must have been horrifying, plummeting to your death and not being able to do a thing about it. I hope for his sake he was dead from a bullet before he hit the ground.
