yep, it was that one. The engine had been running rough, but it was a prop governor failure (which is part of the engine) that caused the ditching : one of the prop blades feathered (!!!) and the pilot had no choice but to put her down in the water. He was actually brave enough not to bail out and try to do less damage as possible, great guy.
