cause of death? Black spot on tummy? :/

[summahkay]

My poor lil Saphera passed away yesterday. I only had the pleasure of having her for about nine months. I have no clue what happened. I fyou could let me know I would much appriciate it thanks.-
Her stats-

• She had stopped pooping and eating as much as she used to.
• She was laying down where she never usually does.
• After She passed I noticed a dime sized blackish spot on her tummy.
• She was alone in a ten gallon tank with a screen top.
• She was on Repti-carpet.
• I fed her crickets daily.(honestly not too good about dusting)
• She had a shallow water dish she could sit in.
• She had a large rock cave to hide in.
• She had an undertank heater, and a blue reptile bulb above her.(on the

opposite side of her water)

I believe the 'black spot' may be internal bleeding.
I see this happen a lot with small, mishandled leos.
Generally before they die, they stop eating and simply waste away.
How large was yours?

size

She was about 7 inches from head to tail maybe? I'm not too sure. We actually didn't handle her much lately though, we're expecting a baby anytime so we've been busy. Could she have fallen from her rock cave or something?

how late did you find her after death? that black spot is normal of internal bleeding from normal death. it can also be stomach juices seeping out. i belive its just normal and not the cause. im sorry about your loss.
