Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot stated that the approach to landing was high, and he initiated a go-around. He applied full engine power, turned off the carburetor heat, and raised the flaps. The engine developed enough power to begin a climb, but the pilot noticed it was running rough. The engine roughness got worse, and engine power decreased. Subsequently, the airplane would no longer climb, and it collided with trees on the departure end of the runway, then crashed to the ground. Postcrash examination of the engine did not reveal any reason for loss of power.
