With everything that you have told us (a system was slow, a memory-hogging process terminated), you haven't given us any clue as to who or what might have terminated the process.
Did the terminated process have a log file? If so, does it indicate why it terminated?
Was your system running job accounting? If so, does it indicate why the job in question terminated? Does it indicate if anyone ran the kill command close to the time when the job in question terminated?
Who was logged in when the process terminated?
What else was running when the process terminated?
Why was the system running slow?
