Make of that what you will: Crash: Ju-Air JU52 at Piz Segnas on Aug 4th 2018, impacted terrain
Yes I read that, sounds like a propeller problem, overspeed or loss of prop control.
The "high power" sound may have been the prop overspeeding and causing severe drag on the left engine.
Pure speculation on my part of course.
