 Jeff, Really glad you are OK.  Sorry about your plane.  Sad times for
sure.  Probably a good decision on not turning off the electrics. My first
engine out I turned off the electrics on short final to the road I was
landing on... Doh!!  Just turned off both my airspeed indicators.  So not
only did I have to do a dead stick onto a road, but I did it without
airspeed info..  (no time to re-boot).

Lesson: if you have electric flight instruments, the emergency procedure is
not to turn off the electrics, but just the fuel pumps.  Very low risk of
an electrical fire given all the fuses in the system.

Well done.  Bummer of a failure mode.
