Think there was speculation among pilots that the crash followed a stall due to the turn into final approach being too tight. So it wasn’t the engines cutting out that caused the crash in their opinion, it was the low air speed that caused the stall (that caused the crash).

Thats what the video looks like to me. It appears they were in a left downwind approach and making a left turn final, went too tight and too slow and stalled. I haven’t heard, but if there was a right to left crosswind or significant turbulence, it may have been a contributing factor.

Maybe the wing stalled but that doesn’t explain how or why or if the engines stalled.

That is something the pilot has to command. And it was both engines. They had to have been feathered before the stall.

A stall doesn’t cause an engine to feather, much less two at the same time.
