Ref the wing parts that appear to have separated, I suspect from their state and the descent profile, that the aircraft reached its divergence speed and the outboard wings came off. This would not be the root cause, but an indirect result of an earlier problem that produced the extreme dive angle. It has happened before - a B737-200 flown by Copa (Panama) sometime in the 90s.
