It's sad to see something like that. I wonder what caused the stall? That plane can take off with two engines with no problem. From the video perspective it looks like his nose was too vertical which may have caused the stall. Sad!
 
The altitude there is problematic, they tried to gain elevation too quickly and stalled. I can't attest to the load out of the plane, but if it broke loose from the front, that didn't help.

Maybe payload weight had to do something too.
 
As a pilot, I actually could not, can not, watch the final moment - horrible. Major stall.

Can you comment on a weight shift causing the stall. I don't understand how the two are related and that was one of the initial explanations.

Think about it like you're in first gear on your bike and under hard acceleration you pull a wheelie. Ignore throttle/brake control for a moment and imagine your weight slides uncontrollably backwards on the bike. Because the bike's center of gravity (CG) is now so far backward there is no way to control the wheelie and it will be out of control. A little simplistic but you get the idea.

EDIT: To clarify in a plane when it "wheelies" it loses lift on the wings, loses airspeed then goes into a stall. Without lift the aircraft is just a nicely appointed paper weight.
