It's belly being full says nothing. It's tankmates add a little but really nothing.
Are you actually interested in a cause or just want a topic of speculations?
Your not adding detail that says anything that anyone can diagnose or even try to do so.
What was the fishes previous conditions and behavior?
What are the water parameters?
What was the condition of the fish when found dead?

Done..... you have your answer right there.....Fish broke it's back and drowned due to lack of oxygen or suffered massive nervous system damage and died from the trama..
This information earlier would have made this a very quick diagnosis.
It's back was bent upwards?
It probably broke it's spine. How big is the tank?
It may have rammed the sides of the tank because the tank was too small and broke it's back.
Polypterus would know much better than I do, but that's my guess.
