Had this happen a few times recently, last time I reflashed the thing with a previously saved image, and it came back up fine. Able to SSH fine now still, appreciate any advice to avoid a full rebuild:
/home/osmc/.kodi/temp/kodi.log is empty
$ paste-log /home/osmc/.kodi/temp/kodi.old.log
http://paste.osmc.io/ceyerixaga
http://paste.osmc.io/ecimawibuk
$ dmesg | paste-log
http://paste.osmc.io/wahozeliho
System log would have helped, maybe upload full logs via grab-logs -A
Alternatively to check if it is a addon causing the crash do mv .kodi kodi_backup and reboot
But an empty kodi.log indicates a crash before addons would be loaded.
Thanks for your help
grab-logs:

Also renaming the .kodi folder and rebooting did not help
This doesn’t make any sense. Also, your log indicates that you actually haven’t done so.
Here’s a directory listing of the home dir, after reboot:

After reboot, I renamed the folder back to .kodi after seeing the problem remained, and then did the grab-logs command
We need to see logs from the clean install.
Kodi seems to be crashing before a new .kodi folder is created. So even if he uploads that logs I guess they will be empty
Aug 01 08:34:39 osmc mediacenter[309]: Kodi exited with return code 139 after 0 hours, 0 minutes and 3 seconds
Seems to be something else that is fundamentally broken
Can try to reinstall mediacenter but I guess you are in an unstable situation with your packages
sudo apt-get install rbp2-mediacenter-osmc --reinstall
Had to remove a corrupted package and a non-empty directory first, to get the mediacenter reinstall happening via apt-get:
Then the reinstall went through well.
With a reboot tho, I still got the sad face, saw I still have an empty kodi log:
$ ls -al .kodi/temp/kodi.log
-rw-r–r-- 1 osmc osmc 0 Jun 3 21:11 .kodi/temp/kodi.log
So I’ve uploaded my logs from a clean install (ie post mv of .kodi dir) here:

Cheers!
Hi guys, just wondering if those logs were helpful in diagnosing the issue, or if I can try anything else to help out?
Well now after you reinstalled mediacenter there are problems with Libraries.
/usr/lib/kodi/kodi.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libbrcmEGL.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
My suggestion is to start with a full reinstall best on a new SD Card.
Probably installed MESA, or a package depending on it.
According to dpkg -S libbrcmEGL.so the missing library file comes from rbp-userland-osmc 
The original error was caused by a malformed database file and now it’s a missing library. It looks like a straightforward case of a filesystem corruption or a broken card. I’m with @fzinken: a full reinstall, preferably on a different card.
OK will do, thanks for everyones help, really appreciate it!
