It's hard to tell from ground cameras, but I'm wondering whether the booster flipped upsidedown after separation. Seems like it really rotated hard.
If the SpaceX overlay graphic is accurate, it seems like a number of engines went out shortly after the relight for the boostback burn, around T+02:53. Asymmetric thrust could have contributed to extra rotation and loss of control.
