Now there are stories out there he crashed doing dangerous stunts with his plane.

As a pilot myself I'll say this. The plane he was in and owned, the Icon A5, is marketed for "fun", low altitude plane for flying off of the water by inexperienced pilots. There been a lot of debate among pilots that this was a bad idea from the start. From what I've read Halladay has been a pilot for about a year but has done a ton of flying and training in that time. Flying is very unforgiving of mistakes, and at low altitude there's no room for error. From the video he was not doing "dangerous stunts" considering the plane.
