The mystery continues to unfold...

So, all of the doors of the ship were found to be open, in what would have been Arctic conditions and a frozen sea.
The only shut door is that of Captain Crozier. The team of researchers who have located the vessel hope to find some clues as to why the ship 'unexpectedly' sank and all the crew presumed died.
There may be a clue within the diaries and notes Croziers probably kept and as preserved in time in ice.
We won't know until the researchers return next year to resume their investigation.
In the meantime, what do you think happened?
I think, having been stuck in ice, some of the crew set off to find land or shelter in the frozen wastes. Maybe snow delirium caused them to open all of the doors - whilst Crozier locked his, out of fear of his angry staff [maybe he had extra rations of food] - or possibly later would-be looters came across the vessel and decided to have a look around.
There is an indigenous Inuit population nearby in Greenland.
