If your rabbit's only symptom was rapid weight loss and then death, I'm going to guess it had an impassable hair ball. Hairballs are common in rabbits, just like in cats. Sometimes one becomes large enough it blocks the digestive tract. Only an operation would have saved your bunny at that point. If your rabbit had a disease, it would have had other symptoms like congested eyes and nose and fever.
Very sorry for your loss...

Normally rabbits only lose weight real fast if they are not eating or if they have diahrrea. The only true way to know what happened to your rabbit is to have an autopsy done. You could have your veterinarian do that or you could have it sent to a local veterinarian school for an autopsy. Normally, you can have a cheap autopsy done for about $20 or so.
Did your rabbit look poopy or messy around the rear end. If so, it probably had diahrrea.
If you are going to have an autopsy done, you need to place your dead rabbit in a plastic bag and refrigerate it as soon as possible so its body doesn't start decaying.

If he lost a lot of weight, I'll assume he wasn't eating. Rabbits have a very fast metabolism, so they die quickly if not eating. Did you notice him not eating at all?
Animals often appear to have a 'fit' when they die - it's not actually a true seizure, it's just their body's reaction to their heart stopping. Natural death is not usually pleasant, I'm sorry you had to witness it.

Did you check its teeth? A rabbits teeth constantly. If its top and bottom teeth are out of line they dont grind together. The rabbits teeth grow in a loop in its mouth eventually if unchecked the teeth will grow into its skull. Its a common problem with pet rabbits.

the only way you could find the cause would be for a vet to do a post mortem,and blood work,rabbits can get so many things wrong with them,and a vet would be able to tell you

depending on age i would a mix of heat, dehydration, and maybe a form of food poison. rabbits a pretty resiliant but if they eat something they shouldn't have it can have grave affects.
