I guess they couldn't de-ice -- I'm not familiare with the plane, sad never the less.

The Diamond DA40, while featuring advanced "glass cockpit", lacks wing and tail deicing capability.

See the page I linked to below. It gives a nice example of a Diamond DA40.

Unfortunately we don't have coverage where they went down.

Very sad accident.
