First Thread - Questions on instant death.

Hi folks,
I've been reading on the forum for a while now but thought it was time to surface and try to get some answers to what just happened to me.
Left Kiel through the canal in feb 40 (my 5th or 6th patrol with this career) so heading in the North Sea about 50km south east of Heligoland doing 10 knots on 1024 TC. Then without any warning.
Instant death, U-boot destroyed by flooding. Have a nice after-life.

only things I can think of are mines and ship collision but would either of these killed me instantly?

I'm playing on GWX3.0 so I know mines are in the game but the handy guide on the Nav screen detailing friendly ports with mines doesn't mention Heligoland and don't seem to go that far out anyway.

If it was a ship, why didn't my watch spot it?

Finally I know the answer to this, but need someone else to tell me.
This isn't an excuse to break from my dead is dead policy is it?

Hope these aren't too annoying questions from a newbie.

Cheers,
