>> I have also noticed that the ficus in his cage is also expiring, the ones in the girl's cages are fine.
Can you elaborate on this? His ficus is dying? Why? Just taking a stab at things, but perhaps there was a pathogen introduced via the ficus?
I would definitely try to rule EVERYTHING out before getting another veiled. A good idea would be to take the dead lil guy to the vet and have a necropsy (or is that an autopsy?) performed to establish exactly what killed him. Might be too late for that though.
Just as a precaution, I would take out all live plants from this cage, repot them, and scrub the whole cage down with a diluted bleach solution before putting anything else in that cage. I might even consider replacing all live plants in the cage, at least temporarily.
Yes, this is probably overkill, but better to be safe than sorry.
