I have encountered similar situation when, I have allocated too much buffer pool size(in fact 'virtual memory' as Innodb is using mmap()) and then the load increased to use this 'memory', after a while OOM came up and killed the MySQL process.
See 'Feature Request':

Also see related article -> http://mysql.az/2016/01/08/oom-killer-vs-mysql-5-7-10-epic-results-with-over-allocating-memory/

What is the available 'physical memory' for servers?
