Description is also consistent with 360 degree turn when pilot sees he
is too high- followed shortly by going from too high to too low
and then starting to force the turn, leading to stall or stall/spin.
Alternate speculation consistent with a common "stupid pilot trick".
FWIW- not much

If he did a full 360, does that mean he was already on final? Or could
he have done this on the base leg?

I've seen a pilot do a 270 at the base/final turn point. Obviously not
a good idea. Can't imagine someone doing a full 360 while on final.
