Sorry for your loss.
Did you look into the mouth of the tang? There is an isopod that attaches itself inside the mouth and feeds upon the fish. A real nasty critter.

Tbh no i didnt want to pick on it bu i saw a darker color inside the mouth for a quick second i kinda thought of a parasite and since the fish mouth was completely destroyed i decide to euthanize it to stop the sufering and to avoid any dispersion in case it died inside the tank.

It actually looked like the flesh was desintegrating.
