I posted one at the time, but don't have it handy (and probably wouldn't just
repost it anyway). Very briefly: the crew died from the water impact; they
were conscious for at least a few seconds after the orbiter broke up; it was
not possible to determine for sure whether the cabin had lost pressure, but
it seemed likely; if the cabin lost pressure, the crew would have lost
consciousness fairly quickly and would not have regained it by time of impact.
