Spray,

The lights wet from right to left, not the fuselage. If tail lights that is consistent with loss of tail rotor thrust. After the early problems with the t/r blades the new blades are probably so over designed that a repeat is not even being considered. If the data/wreckage shows no drivetrain issue you are down to t/r bird strike or FOD as the likely cause.
