They didn't cut the stream, the satellite link to the drone ship failed - SpaceX wasn't getting telemetry either.

  OK, thanks for the clarification. Guess that could indicate something worse took place after the leg breaking then :(

    It could indicate that, but the satellite connection that far out at sea is pretty flaky. A standard landing — with engine exhaust could also have cut the feed. Hell, even the pitching of the ocean could be enough to break the satellite connection. I think we'll have to wait and see to know more.

    The video feed from the drone ship is via satellite. You need a gyro system to keep the dish pointed at your satellite. These systems often can't keep up in rough seas.
