THE cause of the seaplane crash near Sydney that killed Compass Group Plc chief executive officer Richard Cousins remains a mystery as investigators said there is no evidence that the aircraft hit an object or broke up before plunging into the water.

The charter plane crashed into the Hawkesbury River, about 30 km north of Sydney, on New Year's Eve. Shortly before impact, the aircraft took a sudden turn to the right, banking as much as 90 degrees, before smashing into the water in a near vertical position, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) said in a preliminary report into the incident on Wednesday.
