Like posted below my original post, it basically means the flight crew and passengers were incapacitated possibly by a sudden decrease in cabin pressurization which would have resulted in rapid decrease in oxygen or temperature drop essentially freezing everyone on board within seconds. This would result in a ghost plane because everyone was dead and the aircraft was flying solo on whatever course and settings in the AP until the fuel ran out and the plane crashed.
Very plausible, though I believe they said it was supposed to be a 6ish hr flight and the plane had enough fuel for 7.5 hrs. So I dot think it would have run out of fuel...

that info from Rolls Royce engine monitoring data sure is crazy

I found this statement from the link particularly interesting..
"At one briefing, according to this person, officials were told investigators are actively pursuing the notion that the plane was diverted "with the intention of using it later for another purpose.""
