Angel fish aren't the best choice for cycling a tank. The angels are probably stressed and will pick on the weakest of them till they are down to 2 if they pair up.

Are you sure the tank has finished cycling?
If not, then I agree with the above post that angels aren't a good choice for fish-cycling and unfortunately, there might be more die off until the tank becomes established. Either move the fish to another tank and finish the cycle without fish, or keep them in the tank and risk it.
If the tank has gone through it's initial cycle, then it's really more of a mystery unless the dead fish had been showing signs of distress/discoloration/odd behavior (all of which are pretty much linked). It's definitely possible that after it died the others could have been picking at it...i've seen this both at home at the stores

If you read his post and parameters, you will see the tank has only been up 2 weeks and cycling with fish. And you can tell by the readings it hasn't even started a good cycle yet.
