I spoke to a friend who works in MX at SUA and was there when it happened. While he did not see it, those who did say the airplane simply nosed down from it's routine and crashed. No stall-spin, no slow flight, plane seemed to be at full power. Everyone who saw it said that they did not notice any attempt at recovery in either roll or pitch.
