I am so very sorry that you have lost this lovely little boy.

Our Percy died under similar circumstances. I knew something was wrong when i found his cucumber untouched and then i found him lying there uncocnscious but breathing. He kept breathing another day and another night but i knew he was on his way to the rainbow bridge. He was only 13 months old.
When you saw your Roly and thought he was in a deep sleep he was on his way too. There's nothing you could have done and the fact that you thought he was asleep shows that he was at peace and drifting away and not in pain or scared.
Roly may have had a stroke or a heart attack so wouldn't have been suffering.
He passed away peacefully in his own nest, far too soon that's true but his time had come.
Your emotions are raw now but your grief will ease through time and then you will be able to remember the good times you had with Roly and the good life you had given him.

Try and look after yourself and please don't blame yourself.
