I could pretty much guarantee that the average RV is much better cared for
than average 172.

So what do you think really happened? The description in the news
sure sounded like an engine problem.

No, it did not sound as an engine problem.
It did sound as a sputtering engine, and that sir is something
completely different.
You are not a pilot, fine with me.
You only fly sims, also fine with me.
But not being able to read and understand a simple news article,
Hmmmm???
Didn't you teach English? Hmm Hmm.

I have no idea. As post by myself and several others it could be Fuel, Pilot
or Engine. That is assuming that the very short news piece we read is even
close to what really happened.

Or the absence of air or igition - which are still not an 'engine problem'.
For all that is known at this point there could have a raccoon living in the
air intake, or bad wiring on an aftermarket ignition. Probability is more
likely with fuel, but a 'sputtering' engine could have been a lot of things.

We're kind of splitting raccoon hairs here, aren't we?

Hair/fur, whatever.

Splitting the hairs under your raccoon hat. There.

When an engine sputters ...THAT'S A PROBLEM!

Ok, assuming you have some hair under your raccoon hat to begin with...
