Sounds like dehydration, and possible malnutrition... its very easy for them to pass from dehydration. There could've been other factors there also, but im not a vet... but the sunken in eyes seems like dehydration.

Chinese Water Dragons have very specific needs; they are rainforsest creatures. Your temps and humidity levels were probably not correct, and you probably never knew without proper guages.
When they are not feeling well, they will start to lay on the bottom of the cage, and close their eyes alot. By the time we notice that something is wrong, many times it is too late.
Next time, (and I am on my second time around) you might want to monitor the temps and humidity levels.
