Peacock suddenly dies within 12 hours :(

One of our juvenile peacocks suddenly died today this morning. He was completely fine yesterday, and able to fly onto his perch, but today as I went out to let my flock out he was just on the ground, dead.

His head was resting on his back, he was in a resting position on the ground. No slime in his eyes, I mean, he was perfectly fine. I don't know how to perform an autopsy, and I'd like to bury him as quickly as possible. But this death came so sudden and so quick that is just completely baffles me.

He was around half a year old. We hadn't wormed him, but we were about to. In the past month he had some kind of incident where he possibly ate a cockroach that had bug spray on them, or developed some disease, but he seemingly recovered from that after, completely fine, after we fed him activated charcoal, amprolium, and amoxicillin.

I am just baffled. There was nothing that could have killed him so suddenly, going from completely normally during the evening, to just... dead, the next morning. Do you guys have any idea as to why he died? I wish to prevent anything like this in the future. Thank you for your help!
So very sad so sorry
