I think the first recommended action for recovery from LTE (full pedal deflection) may have tipped RRPM below the critical stall value in this situation (assuming she hadn't already done just that).
The question is whether this was just LTE (caused, for example, by an unfavourable wind vector), or LTE and low RRPM and an uncommanded sink rate due to running out of power. The aircraft is clearly over-pitched. LTE seems to be a symptom and not the cause of the trouble the aircaft got into. And in itself LTE would not have posed an immediate risk: a spinning aircraft is better than a falling one.
