No, that's not how a wing stalls. Combination of wing shape, angle of
attack, airspeed, and occasionally some other factors.

Unless the wings are iced up enough to change their shape, the main
factor in a stall is the angle of attack of the wing. Seems like
somebody might notice that the plane was excessively nose up before
lift was lost, but if they were at 1500' AGL, they might already have
been quite close to stall angle by intent.
