Beale AFB California dual control U-2 news update soon?

It is now one month+ since this sad event took place.
A veteran Colonel aviator lost his life. The 'student' survived.

Is there any brief news as to what may have happened? Was the student on a first ride & wearing a pressure suit. Lady or man?

The brief amateur video attached to an early pprune post (#5) shows 2 'chutes very close together at perhaps 3,000' and a U-2 descending in a spin.
