Ummmmmmmmm! SNAP. I hate when that happens.:WTF: Dude i have had fish have a hart attack for no reason. The beat goes on..............
Yep, that's about it. Sorry for your impending loss by the way. Death is the final chapter in the cycle of life and it can't be avoided sometimes. If the others are doing fine and the water tests ok, then it is likely just his time. 
well he realy isn't that old and i just can't buy the fact it's his time but stranger things have happened
Hey I hope your BP is still living....
I would check into the amount of oxygen in your water...
Try installing an airstone and lowering the water level from the hood for better gas exchange.
If the water temp seems high lower it a few degrees and your BP should start to chill, maybe add some aquarium salt for better gill function.
Good Luck!
It definately doesn't mean certain death for your little guy!
