Just for example...lets say fuselage failure and the tail fell off. That would have caused a rapid decompression. May have disabled the cabin air and/or communications. At 35,000 feet, your time of useful consciousness is 30-60 seconds before you pass out.
Some reports suggest the plane turned around. So, hypothetically, their first act, after trying to get oxygen, could have been turning the plane around. Then, 30 seconds later, they passed out, and the plane fell to the water.
All 100% speculation, but just an example of a possible scenario.
