It crashed with apparent C++ exceptions, though maybe with some cleanup afterwards.
LevelDB might keep the records valid, but what about Bitcoin-level consistency?

Usually, during an out-of-space crash, only one block or chainstate file gets corrupted by the DB engine not being able to finish writing data to it. Deleting any of those files isn't fatal, it's not like it destroys wallets or anything. It should just re-fetch that information (particularly if you used -reindex)
