Looks indeed alarmingly like Roselawn and the other ATR Icing accidents.
Is it 100% confirmed that the AD's following Roselwan have been implemented in this particular AC ?
Normally icing shouldn't be of much consideration in Cuba, so installing the improved boots might not have been very high on their agenda !?
IIRC the delivery of this Aircraft was in '96 so it has probably been delivered with the old (i.e. short) ones.
Would be worrying if it happened with the improved ones.

Unfortunately my Spanish is non- existing, so I haven't understood if they disconnected the AP when performing the change of course. Could anyone fiigure out from the caption?

At the end of the descent it looked like a deep stall. Would somehow fit to the wreckage which seemed to bne within a pretty limited area.
I wasn't aware the ATR is susceptible to deep stall. However with a T- Tail that wouldn't be to unlikely
