I would reccomend you do a quick research on health problems with azureus and keep a close eye in case if any of your other frogs get strange symptoms.

I think a check of the fecals of the other frogs in the enclosure is a prudent place to start. Unless there was some reason for the frogs to heavily compete for a limited resource (unlikely given that it sounds like they are subadults)..
If you have a local vet who is willing to send the frog out for you, the necropsy can be performed by Northwest ZooPath (they do a lot of work for Zoos and I know one of the pathologists). The cost is going to be dependent on how much histopathology you have done on the frog and how much your vet charges you to ship the frog out.
Just a side comment here on the housing recommendation... the recommendation for housing in pairs regardless of size/set-up of the enclosure is approaching dogma.....
