The investigation has revealed the Ornge helicopter went down less than a minute after takeoff. Though it's still unknown why it crashed.

The Sikorsky S-76 went down near the Moosonee airport.  All four people on board were killed -- two pilots and two paramedics. 

The Transportation Safety Board says it has found no sign of a mechanical problem. So what happened remains a mystery for now. 

A funeral was held today for one of the men killed --- flight paramedic Chris Snowball.
