Pond water tends to be more acidic due to the rotting leaves and stagnation of it. This more acidic water could have been too much for your plant.

What kind of plant? Was it meant to be in the pond? Or, is this a houseplant that you watered with pond water?
Plants can drown, if they are not water plants. Also, make sure the water temperature is correct. If you sank a tropical plant into a chilly little pond, the shock and the incorrect temperature will kill the plant.
And, if you meant it the other way, I don't think normal pond water should kill a plant, if you just watered it normally. If the pond had herbacides in it, from farm runoff, for example, then I could see problems arise. I would think normal pond water, however, to be good for a house plant, with its nutrients from fish and other pondy things.

You don't say what sort of pond but it could be too salty, too alkaline or acid. Or maybe it had nothing to do with the water at all.
