Sometimes they just check out for no apparent reason. I've lost a couple in the past several months to what appeared to be a heart attack or stroke. Video below shows my Buff Orpington...she was acting perfectly normal leading up to this, extremely healthy and active, and then bam. You'll see her shake her head a couple times (I'm thinking aneurysm) and then a couple seconds later she's gone. I'm glad I got the video because I know she didn't suffer.
edited to add...sorry for your loss...always tough to lose a bird, but especially when you don't know the cause.
