Probable cause

The pilot's impairment of judgment and performance due to the recent excessive use of potent prescription drugs, the pilot's descent below the published decision height, and the pilot's failure to execute a missed approach. Factors contributing to the accident were the adverse meteorological conditions which were below the published required visibility, runway visual range, and ceiling minima due to fog.
