More than likely a lack of water.
It was a hot season

Due to surface roots these trees stress and dry out very quickly.

Is the dry brown flesh localised in the fruit? If so, that is exactly
how the damage from the Bronze Orange bug shows up. Usually the skin
has a surface bump over that area of damage, too.
The bronze orange bug starts out tiny and green, becomes orange, then
the final stage is a winged black adult. Spraying every fortnight for
all the year with PestOil is said to rid the tree of these pests (as
they emerge from the egg) along with many other pests and diseases.
