My kitten died suddenly after showing symptoms and vomiting. Why?

Question

4 hrs ago I noticed this kitten was acting like he was uncomfortable and he was kinda off balance when he was moving around, I just thought maybe he had to poop( i know this can be sometimes uncomfortable for newer kittens) I picked him up he was squirmy, I placed him next to mom, he didnt want to nurse, but he was strong,then about 45min ago he meowed 3 timed loudly, I ran in picked him up, he seemed to be trying to stretch, then he vomited a small amount of white paste and died. What happened? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 26 days old | 0.5 lbs

I'm so sorry for your loss. If there are other kittens it may worth having a necropsy or post mortem exam done on this kitten to know why it died in case there is anything that needs to be done for the others. Without this there is truly no way to know why he died. It may have been parasites, infection, viral disease or a congenital abnormality. I'm sorry for your loss.
