It's weird that a healthy turtle suddenly goes sick and dies two days afterwards. These things (bacteria/virus) usually takes time until it has a really major effect unless your turtle drowned because he was so weak. Taken from what Marisa said, you didnt mention anything about this before. Are you sure your turtle was only starting signs of sickness only two days ago?

There was a question or 2 regarding the pics but they went unanswered.

The place I bought this turtle was not a professional place, unfortunately, there are few more places where they sell these turtles in the super markets and they have been kept in dry fish tank. They are only sold as a part of your house decoration.

The turtle I had surely had some or the other problems earlier, but it was eating and doing fine, It didin't drown as it was on the basking rock when it I found her motionless.

I am sure that I am trying to get a new one, but this time I will make sure that I have proper set-up done and checked well before I get him in the house.

I am so unhappy loosing the angle, but for sure I couldn't help it and I had no way to check his health, I will get prepared well before I have a new one.

It's good to hear that you're going to do all your research so you are prepared before you get the next one. Good luck to you.
