My daughter's cockatiel died a week after being moved from her bedroom to the basement. It's an improved basement, but the air is damp and musty down there, especially compared to her room on the second floor of the house. Could that have killed the bird?
 
Birds are super sensitive to changes in the air around them. I once lit an incense too close to my bird cage and killed my finches, I did not know at the time how sensitive their lungs were. The changes in moisture could have very well killed them. Sorry, better luck next time.
 
Birds have extremely sensitive respiratory systems and need a ton of fresh air. It is very likely that your bird got an infection from the air down there and that is what killed it.
 
It could be. Birds are very sensitive to drafts. It's important to keep them warm at all times.

Sorry for your loss.
