Actually, he might not have to explain too much. This sort of scenario
does happen (where the engine runs OK afterwards), and the NTSB usually

in australia it is usually chalked up to carby ice.

If the conditions were favorable for carb ice, the NTSB reports usual say
so, and often ascribe the accident to it. But in a lot of cases, they
don't mention it; they just do the "undetermined" shrug.
