Jenday conure died suddenly...

I had a Jenday conure who had got lost a couple day ago. We got him back within a few hours. The next day he was fine until that night. All of a sudden his tail was bobbing, he was breathing heavily through his mouth. He seemed he wanted to be around people but then right before he died he was trying to be as far away as he could.

He kept fumbling over himself once he had flown to the floor. His wings were spread making his out line look semi circular from an aerial view. Then he started looking like he was doing a back bend or like he had a cramped muscle in his back... the top of his head was almost touching his back.

my step-dad then picked him up and tried to comfort him but the bird then relaxed a bit and died. Do you have any possibly reasons as to why he could have died like this?
