Problem Statement

Given an acute triangle ABC{ABC}, erect triangles ABD{ABD} and ACE{ACE} externally, so that ADB=AEC=90o{\angle ADB= \angle AEC=90^o} and BAD=CAE{\angle BAD= \angle CAE}. Let A1BC,B1AC{{A}_{1}}\in BC,{{B}_{1}}\in AC and C1AB{{C}_{1}}\in AB be the feet of the altitudes of the triangle ABC{ABC}, and let KK and K,L{K,L} be the midpoints of [BC1][ B{{C}_{1}} ] and BC1,CB1{BC_1, CB_1}, respectively. Prove that the circumcenters of the triangles AKL,A1B1C1AKL,{{A}_{1}}{{B}_{1}}{{C}_{1}} and DEA1{DEA_1} are collinear.
