Will a stall or stall recovery take this kind of path?
Assuming the aircraft was fully serviceable, there are more than adequate indications that
you are entering / have entered the ‘incipient stage’.
A critical element being IAS monitoring. No auto throttle to give added protection.
Prima facie, there was lack of situational awareness which is often associated with high workload.
The CVR (& FDR) will be revealing.
Banking left at the point of stall, resulting in rapid roll left & significant ROD with insufficient height to recover.
All very tragic, & I would speculate wholly avoidable.

Note: GOV.UK published updated foreign travel advice today at 11.34am directing travellers to the UK Air Safety List published on the UK CAA website. Yeti Airlines is one of 21 operators listed.
