If, indeed, there was a fire in the port engine, there could have been control system damage also which might explain the starboard wing stall. I believe the theory of a twin engine plane taking off with a single functional engine and making a successful turn around and emergency landing would require that the rest of the planes systems were functioning correctly (inlcuding the pilot).
Whatever the cause, it is indeed a tragedy.
