Aircraft
I acted as the pilot-in-command and sole occupant of a Cessna 402 aircraft on a flight in visual meteorological conditions. Prior to departure; I conducted a preflight inspection in accordance with the manufacturer's recommended procedures; and I followed the preflight checklist. All systems appeared to operate normally during takeoff; climb; and cruise flight.During the approach to landing; I monitored the UNICOM frequency when another pilot approximately 4-5 miles ahead of me; approaching the same runway; advised that there was turbulence on final approach. While on short final approach; I experienced turbulence and added power to maintain a proper glide path.  At that point; I noticed that the left (i.e.; critical) engine was no longer producing power. As a result; the aircraft nose yawed left (i.e.; toward the dead engine) and I applied full right rudder to maintain directional control.Since I was on a short final approach to the runway; I reduced power in order to land while maintaining my airspeed above Vmc (i.e.; minimum controllable airspeed with critical engine failure). However; the gusty wind drifted the airplane to the left of center line. Since I had applied full right rudder to maintain runway centerline while in flight; upon touchdown the airplane aggressively spun to the right and departed the runway; which caused the landing gear to collapse.When the aircraft came to a complete stop; I shut down the right engine; secured the aircraft; and exited through the cabin door without incident.
Cessna 402 pilot reported experiencing an engine failure on final approach; followed by loss of directional control after landing that resulted in damage to the aircraft.
