The rotors were not turning at the moment of impact and prior to that, the vehicle was seen to lose altitude rapidly. It would be difficult to see how distraction from a laser pen could cause the pilot to shut his rotors down.

There is audio and video evidence anyway, so we will doubtless find out soon enough.
