The center core crashed into the ocean about 300 feet from the drone ship:

Speaking at a news conference after the launch, Musk said the centre core of the rocket was lost after it smashed into the ocean near the landing pad.
"The centre core hit water at 300 miles per hour (482km/h) and took out two of the engines of the drone ship," Musk said.
"If we got the footage ... that sounds like some pretty fun footage if the cameras didn't get blown up as well, then we'll put that up ... for - you know - just the blooper reel," he said.
"The rocket landed about 100 metres away from the landing pad, which was enough to take out two thrusters and shower the deck with shrapnel," Musk added.
