Could be several things:
Osmotic shock from transfer
Crashed into an object from being startled in new environment
Ammonia spike
stray voltage

I think I might have to go with him trying to jump out this morning and he just hit way to hard

If it's any consolation, I'm surprised my goby even alive at this point! He's bounced off the lids and into my overflows so many times it's unreal! So at some point I could see a traumatic injury happening, either way sorry for your loss.
