aterpster, in this photo, you can see VOD/DME TNT, which is 1.7NM from the threshold. The reports, however, place the crash much farther out at Cerro de Hula — it's the 5660' peak about 7NM out and before abeam the start of the final step-down.
If the posting showing the crash site is correct, then it would seem to be a failure (for reasons unkown) to level off at MDA coming out of the procedure turn. The photo, nonetheless, shows how challenging this airport is.
