Unfortuantely it happens, and sometimes it just could be some type of imbalance (chemical) in one of the fish.

Were they laying eggs ?

I would be paitient until you see longer term how the female reacts, could be should could also die, just make sure she is eating.

Doo-e brings up a couple of interesting points as to why they died, but these are not Maroons and should not be mated as such.
