This accident made the weekly AVWEB news email, so I went and had a look at the NTSB report. AVWEB played up the angle on the pilot's history of atrial fib/stroke and the special issuance medical, but I don't think that had anything to do with the accident. It appears to be a stall/spin from the top of a loop. While not officially the final version of the report, it appears the NTSB is leaning that way.
