The crash scene photos do not appear to be of a classic stall spin variety. The aircraft is just off the edge of the departure end of the runway and very fragmented-- perhaps indicative of a "ground contact cartwheel event".
 
An "eyewitness" reported the aircraft got 50-100 feet in the air, engein sputtered, turned sharply left, stalled and spun in. He reported he could not see the aircraft hit the ground because of trees at his house. Pretty amazing account if all is true. I doubt an aircraft could get into a spin at 50 feet AGL. Only one eyewitness account so far, so I would take that with a large grain of salt.
