I catch red fin pickerels in water above 86 degrees all the time in the wild. More likely the tank wasn't aerated enough and the oxygen concentration went down due to the temp. I don't like to keep any fish that warm but I see no reason the temp could have killed the fish with out other causes coming into play.

jumping from 69 to 86 in less then 1 days time is a large jump for any fish :(

When the temp jumps from the low 70's to almost 90 degrees , it would be lethal to even tropical fish. Also Finding fish in varying conditions in the wild is totally different than aquarium conditions. A lake will not jump almost 20 degrees in less than a day, and if it does we may as well pack our bags and prepare for Armageddon :nilly:
