I Agree. This one just might turn out to be an engine issue suffered
right at or after rotation. No telling without the analysis that will
follow the crash, but it very well might not have been a density
altitude problem or an over gross problem at all.
I agree with you that waiting on the facts is a prudent move with these
things.

I'm wondering if perhaps this guy did an intersection takeoff.
Making a judgment from a video is difficult without correlated data but
the run looked normal to me right through rotation. The aircraft seemed
to have required acceleration and I couldn't see or hear anything wrong.
Rotation seemed normal without excessive nose attitude or rate.
The slight wobbling and sudden decrease in rate of climb seemed visually
at least what would be expected with a sudden change in engine power.
These of course are nothing but experienced observations based on not
enough data to reach any kind of assumption or conclusion.
It's difficult to determine if the takeoff was initiated from an
intersection but the rate of acceleration and the length of the run
didn't indicate that to me.
The aircraft was absolutely in stall mush when it when in and there was
little change in angle of attack during that period before impact.
I have the feeling that had the sound track been recorded from a closer
vantage point further down the runway closer to the rotation point more
useful data would be available to a knowledgeable eye witness.
