Is this sentence grammatically correct:
Some experts have said that pilot suicide may be the most likely explanation for the disappearance, as was suspected in a SilkAir crash during a flight from Singapore to Jakarta in 1997 and an EgyptAir flight in 1999.

I can understand what it means. But I am not sure the "as was suspected" part really works grammatically. I would like to know what you think and -if possible- how you parse it.
Gratefully,
Navi.
