Probable cause

The pilot's failure to maintain the airplane's minimum controllable airspeed following a loss of left engine power after takeoff, which resulted in a loss of control. Contributing factors were the fractured exhaust valve guide on the left engine's # 2 cylinder, the fatigue failure of the #2 cylinder's exhaust valve, and subsequent failure of the left engine's turbocharger resulting from foreign object damage.
