AnswerDear Megan,
The blood spot and your bunny's sudden death may or may not be related. But without a post-mortem exam by an experienced rabbit vet, there is just no way to know for sure why she died. You can find a good vet here, if you decide you need that peace of mind:

I am so very sorry about your loss. If she showed any signs at all of illness before she died, you can check that here:

and if you let me know what else you noticed, I might be able to offer more clues.
I am so sorry.
Dana
