For an aircraft to spectacularly depart controlled flight, short of a stall, it presumably has lost the ability to be controlled, and control comes from the elevator and ailerons.
That is a most probable scenario. Leading edge damage suggests contact with a control surface. A momentary lapse of concentration or a desire to get some spectacular footage perhaps but a tragic accident nonetheless. As to his decision to return to EN, well I would probably have done the same.
