I can't think of any rational situation where the crew is not dead or disabled and unable to communicate after "losing" a transponder other than the plane is already dead.
I also doubt they were hand flying the aircraft so the FMS should have taken them to the proper destination if the crew had just passed out from oxygen deprivation.
So, my guess is something caused it to breakup in flight or it was hijacked/flown by hand somewhere.
