They’ve mentioned that on tv as a strong possibility.
Whatever it was, it was sudden enough the pilots didn’t have time to send out a distress signal.

General aviation planes can buy a box for a few hundred bucks which will transmit position info every minute via the satellite phone network.
One would think airliners would have one.
