Ernie Martin is an unknown quantity at this point
Three times I have had an engine quit in mid-flight due to fuel starvation. Ignoring the first time, when I had zero experience with the aircraft*, the indications are immediately obvious as fuel starvation. Given Troels familiarity with this aircraft and his experience, I very much doubt that this was fuel starvation.
