My initial thought, too, was that somebody must've, fallen out the back
when the empennage broke off.

Well, so much for the adage that the safest part of the plane is in the
back... The two victims sat in the last row.

Looks to me as if the main gear on one side and the tail hit the seawall,
and the loss of the main gear on one side made the plane uncontrollable
(to
say nothing of losing the tail empennage at a critical point).
Too low, rotated too far, but why will take some time to figure out.
One hell of a tough airplane to stay nearly intact with most of the doors
functional after that sort of impact.
