Sorry for your loss.

Were the temperatures ok?
Had access to water?
Could it be from impaction?

Impaction can occur in many reptiles.
Impaction is usually associated with a build up of sand in the stomach.

is there a way of preventing impaction?, thats got me paranoid now. (first time ive heard of it)

Any type of sickness could of caused it to stop eating, my first guess would be parasites of some description
