A Mooney M20m crashed just after takeoff with just the pilot onboard.

Witnesses said it got just off the runway then spun over and crashed. Just tried to find audio and nothing was found. Just a comment asking about the cash a half our or so later asking if the plane was on the field of off the property by an incoming pilot.
Best wishes and condolences to the pilot's family. Hope they have a lot of support in the months ahead.

From what I read, it appears to be a catastrophic engine failure on takeoff, attempted return to the airport with a stall/spin/fatality.
