( CNN ) Distraction caused by taking selfies is likely to blame for a plane crash that killed a pilot and his passenger in Colorado in May , according to the National Transportation Safety Board . Investigators found an undamaged GoPro video camera near the wreckage and recovered its data card . Video from the card showed the 29-year-old pilot with several passengers on flights the previous day , and one nighttime flight shortly before the fatal trip , taking photos of himself with his cell phone , according to investigators . `` The camera 's flash was activated and illuminated the cockpit area , '' the report said . The fatal flight , on May 31 , was not captured on the GoPro footage but investigators said that the pilot , who is not identified in the report , was at the controls of the plane when it stalled and crashed in a wheat field , bounced once and came to rest upright . It 's likely that the use of cell phones during that flight `` distracted the pilot , '' the report said , causing him to develop spatial disorientation and lose control of the plane . The aircraft went into a stall and then spun before crashing , investigators said . Investigators found nothing wrong with the aircraft itself that might have contributed to the crash , the NTSB said . The 29-year-old pilot had a total of 726 total fight hours and 27 hours of experience flying at night . His logbooks did not show that he had training in instruments to deal with a stall or that he was qualified to fly at night with passengers , the NTSB said . Family members said that Amritpal Singh was flying the plane , the Denver Post reported . It was registered to him . Singh 's relatives told the newspaper that the passenger was a musician in town for a concert .
Investigators found GoPro camera near crash site . The company says it is cooperating with the investigation and will cooperate fully in any legal proceedings that may result.
