Failure could be air or air supply - contaminates in the air or a bad CO2-CO scrubbing system. Power, control failure. Hitting the hull - fouling the sub so it can’t rise up.
Not necessarily a hull collapse, but a “failure to be able to rise” could stick them below.

Either total power loss....they can still manually drop the lead and float up.....
They got entangled...
Imploded
Are floating on the surface, lost.
Either way, suffocation, drowning, and imploding are bad ways to go.

Yeah, they could have all passed out due to bad scrubbers, and still be alive, possibly, with the sub non-responsive. But they are way overdue.
