Best Guess on my way of thinking is thatthe sleeve was loose in the bore (too loose) and cracked around the top ring allowing the sleeve to drop down.
as it dropped the top ring expanded above it and made a snap ring effect pulling it down into the crank case. Engines hate that, and puke sleeve fragments till they stop.
It should not be a tough repair. Use service manual information on the sleeve fit. If you find the other sleeves are just fine, and want a single sleeve, LA Sleeve (on line) has them, or can make them easily. Jim
