Please read http://www.rabbitmq.com/api-guide.html#shutdown.

It says:

The AMQP connection and channel share the same general approach to managing network failure, internal failure, and explicit local shutdown.
…
Those objects always end up in the closed state, regardless of the reason that casued the closure, like an application request, an internal client library failure, a remote network request or network failure.

Connection termination will trigger a shutdown regardless of the reason, whether RabbitMQ had a chance
to send clients connection.close or the OS detected a socket operation error.
