It is possible this one praecox was much older than the others and died of old
age. The description of it's demise seems like old age, especially since none
of the others were infected or affected. Were they all obtained from the same
litter? Salmon assume this look for two reasons - one is for breeding the
other is pre-programmed dying of old age.
