Looking at the video of the crash site, and the inverted wreck, it seems to show the right horizontal stabilizer and elevator snapped off several feet from the fuselage, while the left HS and elevator are intact. The underside of the left elevator and stump right elevator show heavy sooting while the underside of both stabs show none.
That would seem to indicate that the elevators were deflected in the nose down position to get sooted.
