(sinking?)German Battleship Bismarck

I have heard a few rumors about how the Bismarck sunk but I would like to officially find out if anyone knows.

I have heard
1. That the British Battleships disabled her in the water and the Destroyer screens torpedoed her until she rolled over and sank

2. When exploreers found the wreckage of the Bismarck there were blast holes in the midship keel and the holes blasts were outwards not inwards, in other words she was scuttled by her own crew.

3. Her crew realised she was sinking and abondanded ship but later found out she was still afloat and the U-boat which picked up Bismarcks war diary sunk her. (Although i have heard that the U-boat actually had expended all her torpedos before hand).

4. The Crew abondanded ship was captured but the ship again stayed afloat and was taken over by the British but believing her to be to damaged to get back to a dry port and scuttled her (this one i don't Believe).

What is the truth if anyone knows.
