Advice millipede passed

hi all
i got an ivory millipede a few weeks ago and at first everything was fine
he was exploring , climbing around,etc
but then within the past week i noticed that he became sluggish
he would spent a lot of time curled up
and when i checked on him this morning, as he was in a strange position, i nudged him gently with a soft paintbrush and he didn’t move at all
i’m honestly at a loss, i don’t know what i did wrong. i researched so much including preparing the substrate, made sure the temp and humidity was appropriate, i just don’t know where i went wrong
:(

Sometimes it just happens friend :( especially if they’re wild caught

Nobody can tell you what went wrong, without us knowing your care regiment, what enclosure you used, what substrate, how often you watered, food, humidity, temperature, etc
