Yes, but in this case, doesn't the last ACARS message tell us that the airplane was descending through an altitude of approx. 8000 - 9000 ft at a rate "greater, as an absolute value, than 1,800 ft/min for five seconds" at time 2:14:26? If the sending of the message due at 2:15:14 was prevented by a dual engine failure occurring between these two times, at ambient temperatures well above freezing, could it have been due to icing?
