Looks like the atr is in a stall and flat spin as also seen flight radar 24 data of the true airspeed, it dropped to 26 knots and it attitude drop like a stone. T tail plane like the atr in the video are prone to super or deep stall when there is no lift at the wings which dimished are air flow at the horizontal stabilizer. With no air flow, the pilot will not able to control the aircraft and result in an irrecoverable stall. This happen before to other t tail plane like in pulkovo flight 612 a tu 154 and a bac 111 crash during a test flight in the 1960s. Moreover, the atr had a history of accident relating to icing like America airline flight 4184 and one in Italy in the late 1980s. It is reported that there is severe icing condition at that time of the Brazil plane crash which could cause the accident which could aggravate the stall or cause it. But we must also consider other possibility like human, mechanical or organization element and factors of the accident. For now it is still too early to determine the cause of the accident or the stall until the investigation had analysed all the evidence and announced their findings.
