Upon removal and inspection of the remaining pieces, it looks like the crack started at one of the holes drilled for the door latch mounting studs. As I mentioned earlier, the plane had well over 300 hours (closer to 400 actually) on it at the time of the incident, so it took quite some time to fail.
