Nearly a cartwheel!
Absolutely no idea of what the `picture` should be inverted....
Another low level barrel roll nearly goes west
If that qualifies as "nearly goes west", I shudder to think what would qualify as having fully 'gone west'

I'd say the maneuver itself went South ... but that's a different turn of phrase.
It looked to me like some version of an aileron roll series that didn't apply that little bit of nose up as the roll commenced...interesting bounce and go/touch and go there.
(Guessing the fatal injuries were related to the ejection (any number of ways that can to wrong) as it looked like a good chute)

Could indeed be any number of ways it went wrong but I would guess the aircraft pitch down (which probably finalised the ejection decision) would have produced significant negative g and a speed increase resulting in a very hostile ejection environment.
It would be interesting to know the interval between impacting the runway and loss of control/ejection.
