Sudden death reason?

[Elizapn]

We have a small group of chickens, all about 2 & 1/2, seemingly healthy and laying & only free ranging when we are there due to many predators in the area. Sadly today I found on of our chickens dead on the floor of the coop. She was on her stomach with her head turned under her. Nothing seemed wrong except her eyelids were white - is this normal when a chicken dies? This is our first dead chicken and want to make sure it’s nothing that could affect the others. She laid a perfect egg yesterday & she didn’t seem sick at all.
I’ve cleaned out the coop, scrubbed the waterer and put new food. Anything else I should do in case?
Thank you!

There's no telling what couldve caused her death without a necropsy.
White eyelids could possibly be due to the lack of blood flow after her death. A heart issue or a defective heart valve mightve caused her death. I'm sorry for your loss.
