The accident aircraft is a Seneca 1. There is a reason that the Seneca 2 and subsequent Seneca models had a redesigned Elevator control system. I can say from personal experience that a Seneca 1, at the forward C of G was difficult to pitch up to a proper landing attitude in the flare, even with full up elevator.
