Time will tell, but there are uncanny similarities of this accident to the following, notably power reduction in the left engine and loss of RPM, but not an engine failure per se.

For both of those accidents, the aircraft had just come out of maintenance that likely involved the adjustment of the throttle friction.

For the Wichita crash, the maintenance was followed by two short post-maintenance test flights, then came the accident flight.

For the Blackbushe crash, the maintenance and associated ground runs were immediately prior to the accident flight.

Any maintenance to ZCR immediately prior to the accident flight?
