I greatly doubt it was another U-boat since due to SH3 limitations AI-controlled submarines can't dive or fire torpedoes. It's possible that a friendly aircraft might have been patrolling in the area and attacked the merchant. Aircraft are fairly common near coastal waters. An other possibility is weather: stormy sea and big waves cause damage to small ships and can even sink them. Or as you mentioned, it could also have been a mine.
