Peruphasma-schultei has not shed at all for months and suddenly died !!!

I have 4 Peruphasma-schultei 2 male and 2 female one of the males has never shed while the other 3 have grown to 4 maybe 5 times his size someone did say that it might be because he is being bullied and to separate him off so i did this and after 2 days i found him on his back in the bottom with his legs in the air is it possible that being unable to shed has ended up killing him ??? these are the first stick insects i have ever had and i would really like to try and find out what happened to him he was eating and drinking fine must admit didnt realise how attached you get to the little guys ! if anyone has any theorys on what happened to him i really want to hear them many thanks sarah
