Plecos are great fish and they can manage a little salt. Try feeding them cucumbers. They might be in a to small enviroment. What kind of pleco is it. Did it get along with the fish in the tank. Were you feeding it the right amount of food. There can be a lot of symptoms to diseases that you didn't know about.
Is any other bottom feeders eating there food. Try to pay more attention to diseases.

Hey, did you add any chemiclas to the water before he died? Plecos are not scaled fish and so they are very sensitive to any chemicals added to the tank.
Just wanted to help

I have had the odd fish die for no apparent reason, all water parameters in my tank are great. I just had one of my Siamese algae eaters die, all my other fish were fine and he was not being bothered by other fish, it was a complete mystery to why he died I just keep a close on the tank to make sure none of the other fish are showing signs of illness. As for the salt, I had a pleco for a long time and I use salt in my tank. I had to take him to the local fish store and give him to them, he had out grown the tank I had and they sold him shortly after that.
