Something reminded me of this old thread and I looked to see if the final accident report had been published. It had: click here.

For those not interested in reading the whole thing, it appears that the pilot overshot the turn to final and was distracted by a departing plane while maneuvering back to align with the runway. The end result was high bank angles, a steep angle of attack and a stall close to the ground resulting in impact. The report lists facts and observations, but never mentions "pilot error" or any other "cause" for the accident. But the airplane was working normally up until impact.
