nah they can shrink up and get into crevices you don't even know are in your tank. if it is dead it'll be a slime ball rolling around with the flow...you'll see it soon enough, it'll show back up

It is not the death of a cuke that releases poison. If the cuke is distressed then they will expel their digestive track to wart of attackers. The toxins in their digestive track is what can wreck havoc on your tank.
He will come back in a few days if not then your clean up crew will have a good feast.
