Node stopped and kicked out of cluster

In a cluster of 3 nodes 1 node was automatically stopped and kicked out of the cluster. When I checked the log file this is what the exception was -

I had to restart the Elasticsearch service to bring back the node into the cluster.
ES version - 5.1.1
OS - Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64
mlockall - true
index size - 6.7GB
RAM - 13GB(though top shows 12.5 is being used by ES which I am assuming is because of ES greedy caching).

Any ideas what could be happening and how to fix it?

Is there anything in the log before that?

The logs just indicate that the node was shutdown. Elasticsearch does not shut down by itself.

This is the complete log file is at https://gist.github.com/Akarshit/eab3e9fd040944589afcd15a37058f73
I am also surprised why this happened, that's why I want to fix this.

Something is issuing a shutdown command to ES, the error above has nothing to do with it.
Try checking your OS level logs.
