You can't visit the flightdeck during a flight even if you're a 5 year old that wants to say hi to the pilot so the chances of some randoms getting access to the flightdeck are slim to none. Now if it was a hostage situation and someone had say a knife to a flight crew or passengers neck, the pilots would have radioed for help, asked ATC for the nearest airport to land and still have not opened the door.
The other possible scenario might be is the plane lost all flight controls including backups and the pilots were trying to follow the coastline back to the mainland essentially doing a VFR flight but at night. Flying over large body of water at night will get you disoriented fast without any feedback for altitude and speed. There's so many scenario's if it was indeed a technical problem that brought this plane down.
