I had a rir hen that was healthy and outgoing then within a day she was dead only a year old . Her legs got stiff and she just lost all energy and died within a day
 
If there was no swelling in her belly, probably the next most likely thing is her heart, unless she got into some sort of poison. Or something else -- there are just any number of things that can cause sudden death.

Many state vets or ag colleges will do a necropsy for a small fee or even for free, but you need to know ahead of time what arrangements to make, what condition the body neeeds to be in, etc. -- for future reference.
