    Your rats most likely have been fighting. Check for bloody fur, or signs of damage. Your other rat most likely fought it to death. I've heard this happen before, and happened to me, as well. They like to attack each other in the most sensitive areas that they can get to, if that makes sense. And, sorry about your loss.
