Yeah, but I think they just ran out of gas. It's the most logical explanation.
The crew would have known they were low and declared an emergency much earlier and gotten priority to Naples or another airport. Haven’t heard any reports they signaled distress until just before the crash and the flight track certainly doesn’t seem to indicate anything out of the ordinary.
Crew error doesn’t seem likely either - hard to mistakenly shut off both engines instead of lowering the gear or flaps.
My guess is a fuel system/contamination issue, but speculating at this point doesn’t do much good. NTSB should have plenty of data to review.

The teardrop to the left and then back around to the right appears to to shown here. Looks reasonable. Whatever happened, happened fast, and perhaps when exiting the turn and lining up with final. A time when power would be reduced after the turn. Just tickled my memory. I was PNF in BOS TCA IFR on approach to landing. Captain threw both AC master power and avionics (next to each other, non guarded) to off. This was out of the blue and for no reason. The entire panel and AC went dark. We obviously worked it out.
