I am sorry to hear of the loss of your ferret.
Without a necropsy by a veterinarian it is anyone's guess as to what the
cause might be.
We had a similar type of passing some years ago when a right adrenal
ruptured the vena cava in a 5 year old ferret. We heard a single cough adn
then found him similarly to your description.
If the ferret is still available I suggest oiit get to a vet for necropsy,
then you will have the answer.

the floor. his water dish was full of blood his body was covered in it. it
looked as to have been coming out of his mouth no where else. any ideas of
what this could be the ferret was dead when she found him.
