Pilot was the only person onboard and luckily Survived the impact. He is out of surgery and recovering.

No post impact fire. It remains to be seen whether or not the Dual Engine Failure was the result of fuel starvation, A flock of Canadian Geese, or another insidious reason

In this video it does not look like any fluids are leaking from the plane.
I would guess perhaps they ran out of fuel or something like this given no visible fuel on the ground shortly after the crash but I'm just guessing here.

Damn, didn't even try to fly that plane. I was expecting to see it glide to earth...not fall like a rock. Apparently he was getting his hair done the day they taught engine(s) out landing. Dead stick is not really his forte!

This is simply an observation from the video. To me it appears there is a very large and high set of multiple wire transmission power lines just beyond the crash site. A possible explanation for stalling the aircraft if attempting to stretch his glide over those wires. Many twin engine accidents occur this way with an attempt to stretch the glide over obstacles to land in a more acceptable landing spot and getting below VMC and loss of control.

I remember the 421 having a very abrupt stall, all the twin Cessnas do, but that wing is either flying or not, no in between.
