Sorry for your loss. If you keep the body cold, nit frozen, you could take it in or ship it overnight to your state vet for a necropsy. It sounds like a respiratory disease, possibly a virus. What state are you in? Here is a list of state vets to contact to see what was wrong:

Is just the one toe black? That is all that is showing in the picture. It may be frostbite. The toe will eventually fall off in a few weeks. You could paint some Betadine on it. What are the low temperatures where you live. Frostbite can be prevented by keeping the bedding dry in your coop and run. If a chicken gets it’s toe or foot in water during freezing temperatures, frostbite is very common. I see that this is a duplicate thread.
