Outside of the other lion fish what else do you have in the tank? Also unless the tank is very large a problem could developed from having to many lion fish in the same tank. The other lion fish may have picked on him causing him to stress out and die.

Also if you still have the fish, check it's gills and mouth, it may have something stuck in there or maybe even a parasite.
