But there was no fireball. And if you look at the photos there is only a small amount of fuel on the ground after the crash.

To me that says fuel exhaustion. But I'm not an expert.
Did you stay at a Holiday Inn Express?

At this point, all we know for certain is they ran out of altitude, airspeed and ideas at the same time.
