Thanks.

It does look like he stalled or spun the aircraft and didn’t have enough altitude to recover.

A few articles mention he declared an emergency. Perhaps that would explain his unusual approach path.

I haven’t flown a twin but if he was in pattern and was turning and low wing engine died, he’d have a hard time.

That is an easy route to a stall/spin.

To me, all the signs are fuel exhaustion.
