It is amazing how fast they stink, they couldn't have been dead more than 12 hrs or so.

Yeah, it seems like there was a bad batch at one point.
Most eels come from one distibutor, me and the gang buy our eels at different places, but there was a batch that it seemed we all lost an ass load of em from at the same time. Sucked.

If one dies, it is amazing how quick the water turns putrid.

Get the cheap water conditioner at Wally world. We've had two dozen MONSTERS alive for weeks. in about 15 gallons. The water conditioner is key.

Mikey, I think you are are spot on as I had the same thing happen to me and I never loose eels. I have 3 aquarium pumps with 5 stones in a 30 gallon tub in back of my garage. North side cool and dark.
I think there was a bad batch that were sick.
