I think the fact that there were no maydays or communications when they were at ~35,000 feet suggests that they were incapacitated, but from what I have read, it is not rare in aviation life and death emergencies that the pilots zone out protocol (i.e., stop communicating) and focus on the task at hand.

A stall & loss of control at that altitude can certainly break an airplane.
Aviate, Navigate, Communicate are 3 of the most important words a pilot should know.
