Well, puffers are very sensitive to water parameters.. there could have been various reasons why the puffer died.

Puffers also don't generally do well with other fish. They're a "species only" sort of thing. Especially the Figure 8s. (Are Fig. 8s brackish? I don't remember now...)

High nitrites will do it, puffers are very sensitive to them.
