We know the N-number, we know the pilot. It wasn't owned by his agent. There were no "stress" issues, and I guarantee you it didn't "struggle to take off in Nantes", nor did his phone cause it to crash. Amazing how many amateur, non-pilot comments there are.
Guy had had to get somewhere. Took off in bad weather. Got icing. Crashed.
It's happened before and it will happen again.
