I would dig up the one you lost and see if the root system was still
intact.
Check for damage to the plant from underground. Cut worms cut them off
above the ground, but nematodes work in the dirt. Some are good and some
are bad and I cant tell you the difference, but I was told you can get rid
of the bad ones by putting some broken, fresh egg shells in the dirt near
your tomatoes.
Could they have been over watered? Fungus will grow on my indoor
seedlings
if kept too moist and in the dark. I hope you find out what caused the
problem, and do not give up.
