I can't see a temp of 84 being the cause, you will find a lot of tanks vary by a few degrees and quite regularly hit 84 degrees. in the summer my tank was bouncing between 82 and 86 and even as high as 89 with no ill effects. I am not saying this was a factor as maybe the coral was already weakened and this accelerated it, but I would be looking elsewhere for a cause also.
On the other hand sometimes this happens for no other reason than the coral was stressed at some point in the last year and finally succumbed to the stress.
