The flight profile might indicate a runaway trim situation.
In IMHO you are most likely right loss control in less than 16 seconds. extreme high climb rate-descent rate.

Possibly a medical event if single pilot? Very unfortunate.
The FA profile if accurate is very telling. Loss of control happened quickly. As Planesolutions and Highflyer state flight control and medical issues will need to be investigated. Also, depending on the serial number of the aircraft, it may still have had the spinning Sperry gyros for the attitude indicators overhauled for the upteenth time. Could pitot covers have been left on? The investigation should be able to solve this one.
May WE learn from this tragedy and all involved RIP.
