Just my 2 cents.
The LFS you got the fish from told you to drop the fish right in right? Well if this is the acclimation practice he promotes then he is responsible for the death of every fish he sells. A fish can't tolerate a 1.010 increase in salinity in such a short period of time. He should adjust his salinity if he wants people to drop the fish in like that. Also, you asked,

Can a fish create an ammonia spike immediately after it dies?

The answer is that a fish can create an NH4 spike while it is still alive. Fish secrest amonia as waste and while under stress excrete a lot more than usual. In this reagard the drop and plop method is good. You were stuck between rock and a hard place, soory about your loss. I'd expose the LFS if I were you!
