Probable cause
The improper planning/decision by the pilot to fly into forecast icing conditions with an airplane not equipped with a certified deice system. The continued flight in known icing conditions and the flight to an alternate destination not performed by the pilot were additional causes. A contributing factor was the pilot's lack of qualification as an air carrier.
