I found out yesterday, Sunday, that more than likely the Baron ran out of fuel. The pilot called Atlantic Aviation he was heading over to fuel but never showed up. An even dumber dumbass move. That's probably the reason the plane didn't blow up or catch fire when it crashed.

This is a Beechcraft Queen Air doing just that.... but with a load of fuel. It's not a stall as stated, but an engine that has quit running properly and not giving any power to keep it in the air because of the aircraft's and passenger's weight, plus the weight of the fuel onboard. You can hear an engine popping in the video.
