Broken ring= detonation. Gaskets blown between fire rings= detonation. Piston spatter on middle cylinder= detonation. Detonation kills engines. Check the pistons carefully, its common to flatten or pinch a ring land when this happens. Use more octane, less timing, go rich, ARP and Cometics and it'll likely live on the spray.
