Answer

Unfortunately, without having been there, I cannot tell you why your guinea pig died.  See, there may have been some symptoms, or it may have simply been something sudden.  Guinea pigs are a lot like humans in that way.  Sometimes they just die without warning -- they may not have even been ill for a prolonged period of time, but since they are not able to communicate pain to us very well, we may never know why they die so suddenly.

I'm sorry I'm not able to help more.  I hope that you at least get some measure of comfort out of my words.
