If both dogs were properly vaccinated for parvo, then it would be unlikely. However, I am concerned that there could be some infectious or toxic process going on. Since your other dog died, I would recommend that Bane see a vet as soon as possible. I would still recommend a parvo test, as well as investigation into other causes that look like parvo (often lethargy, vomiting, and diarrhea), such as intestinal parasites, liver disease, intestinal blockage, etc. Your vet may recommend x-rays and bloodwork in addition to a parvo test.
