Prior to discovery, any unusual behavior such as twitching, yawning, heavy breathing, loss of appetite ? How about loss of color, dots, hazy look to their bodies ?
What is current ammonia and Nitrate and what test kits are you using?

Your Alkalinity is to high. Did it swing up abruptly for some reason. Possibly causing participation, inessence chocking them to death. The gills of some fish are much more susceptible to that than others.
