Could be a heart attack, the comb is a bit purple.

The comb isn't purple. I can't see any purple on it

It isn't as red as the wattles. It looks a bit purple-ish to me.

True. It isn't as red as the wattles. I have many experiences with purple combs and the tips don't look purple which is where it would start. I think that it is pale. Let us just ask the OP.

Is the comb purple at all or discoloured at all?

Sorry for you loss.

There's no way to tell what he died from without having a necropsy performed. Your state lab can do it or you can perform an informal investigation yourself - look at his organs, etc. post photos and we can try to help you. http://www.metzerfarms.com/PoultryLabs.cfm

It looks like he had Scaly Leg Mites, so you may want to look at the legs on the rest of your flock and treat them for those. While you're at it, check through their feathers for evidence of lice and poultry mites. https://the-chicken-chick.com/poultry-lice-and-mites-identification/

Looks normal. He was fine crowing like normal calling in the hens at night time like normal.
