Probable cause
The disintegration, for undetermined reasons, of the upper main drive pulley assembly bearing, while in cruise flight, leading to the decoupling of the main rotor drive assembly from the engine drive assembly. Factors include the absence of any suitable forced landing area, leading to a landing between the gravestones of a cemetery.
