Unhappy betta bends in half!

Hello everyone!!

this is the case.

I had a male betta in excellent condition.

2 weeks ago, it stopped eating( it tried to get food at the top, but couldn't somehow).

i didn't really do anything and just left him alone( i thought he would get better on his own).

next morning i came in and saw my betta bended in half!
he stayed like that for 1 week and died.

did he get paralysed or it was some kind of unheard of disease?

Swim bladder disease?

I've had that happen before and I have absolutely no clue. Might have to do with the swim bladder, but it's still a mystery to me.
