Thank you all. He has no punture wounds and the other rooster hasn't been near him for over a month. It was not much blood on his comb just a couple of trickles and some beading. I thought maybe hawk but no punctures or injuries. When I get home I will take a picture. I don't think it was a predator. I have read Orpingtons can have heart issues so maybe a heart issue? Can his feather-eating mites from hsi young age have lowered his immune sustem?
 
How I found him:

His head (the comb isn't as purple anymore and no more blood):

His back (compared to my larger-than-average NZ size 9 gumboot feet):

As long as your other chickens seem healthy and you know they haven't been exposed to any crazy poisons or predators I think it's okay and he can just be at rest now. Sometimes these things happen when you have chickens.
