Typical News Reporting on an accident

A forced landing you
usually walk away from, a crash you often get carried away in a bag.
Going by the very brief article, it seems much more likely that this
is a case of aerodynamic stall than engine failure as was reported.

In the region where this particular accident took place, a power failure /
forced landing is most likely to result in a crash in some very hostile
terrain.

I do agree with your conclusion, though. The mention of flying into a
box canyon would make an aerodynamic stall a more likely cause than a power
failure.
