I was wrong re the timescale - the final report has now been published:

It puts an end to the speculation, on here and elsewhere, that the RHS was occupied during the landing.

Other than that, parts of it make harrowing reading - it appears that all the occupants survived the impact and had then unbuckled their belts, but were unable to escape from the aircraft due to the rapid onset and intensity of the post-crash fire, fed by both kerosene from the severed fuel lines and petrol from the tanks of the cars that the Phenom had impacted.

Poor souls.
