Cerry head baby died for no reason sons very upset

I found my 6 yrs old sons cherry head red foot last night by food dish dead she was very bloated she was about 4 months old when I got her she still had signs of her yolk sack on bottom of her shell. Shes been active and been gaining weight I weigh them every week. I just spryed her in the morning and found her at night she was fine in morning. My son is very upset and don't want this to happen to my other sons tort that is in same cage. I use sphagnum moss for the cage and feed them daily a diff mix of things and calcium once a week. and keep one side of cage moist and other dry and they have a heat light that keeps them around 90-92 I have temp gun to keep track of temps. I take them outside a couple times a week for them to get sun. I just want to find out what could of caused this cause there was no signs of anything. Any help will be helpful, and if there is anyone who knows anyone with any cherryheads for cheap cause I don't have a lot now would be apperchated too to replace his tort he loves them and is very sad he lost his baby he always helped feed them and everything. Color doesn't matter as long as it aint too much Thanks for looking

Awww I'm so sorry about your son's tort. I don't have any ideas to offer for why it died though, hopefully someone with more knowledge will come along and can maybe offer some ideas.

Sorry for your loss Perhaps it might be good to try to understand what happened before getting another.

Any number of things could have killed it... Was the other tort in the enclosure the same species??? It is not good to mix diff species of torts in a small enclosure like that. Some will say its ok, but it's not. There is a chance they can make each other sick. I have lost a tortoise this way, as well as a friend of mine. I suggest not keeping diff species together....
