I doubt that the lack of O was the cause of the fish kill. They may have been chased on the beach. Also the wind yesterday evening was southerly which may be a factor along with the extra high tide.
The topography of the west side of west island and points north are huge magnets for bluefish.
The island has narrow streams that hold tons of small bait such a peanut bunker. I did not see how these streams connected to the bay but they had to get there some how. Could it be that the wind and tide conditions flooded the gateway to the bay water and the bunker tried to make passage. The beach is one of solitude, located in a cove like setting unspoiled by boats creating a perfect habitat for bait fish.
Once the blues attacked there is not many directions the bunker can go. The south direction from the beach is a point and the north direction are the coves that are lack of better words are like are almost land locked.
The island converted their outdated septic system to sewer treatment located on the island. This may be a factor depending where the discharge pipe is located. This very well may be a reason for lack of O but not knowing the details of sewer design I wouldn't rush to judgment.
