So sorry to hear this for you. Can you give some more info? Size of them, diet, substrate, temps. Has there been any signs of anything going on, like bullying? Were they eating and drinking? Do you soak them? How is the other one acting now?
All answeres will only be guesses. Only a necropsy can truly give you the answer your looking for. However, with more info, you might get some good guesses.
Again, I am so sorry

I am very sorry this happened.

I'm afraid only a reptile veterinarian could give you answers. It sounds like internal bleeding to me, but that is only a guess. I can't even guess as to the cause. So sorry for your loss.

Unfortunately the history is too vague, In the future (hopefully not) The tortoise needs to be refrigerated immediately then taken to the vet to get samples to find out cause of death in the event it is something contagious for any other animals in the collection. Since we keep these animals very warm, autolysis will set in very quickly making tissue damage difficult.
