I'm sorry to hear your bird passed away. It is possible she was ill and had an underlying illness-- as birds are great at hiding being sick until it's too late sometimes, or there was a nutritional issue such as not enough calcium or nutrition that led to starvation or egg binding (a stuck egg in the body). Making sure your birds are getting a complete balanced diet and extra calcium can help prevent these issues, however if you have any other birds that are also acting ill, separating them to a hospital cage and seeking care in person is best.
