I am sorry t hear about the death of your gerbil.
As Karin has said, pneumonia and maybe a stroke are them most likely
things. However, this gerbil is over 4 years old which is a very good
age. Both pneumonia and strokes are increasing risks with age. I doubt
there was anything you could have done.
