Best guess I've heard ( Probable Cause) :they took on fuel up north to avoid airport charges and specified " no anti-gel " thinking it would be cheaper ( it wasn't). With engines at idle on approach their fuel gelled, starving the pumps and causing both engines to flame out.
They saved their passengers. RIP to the crew.
