Since other fish are dying, get ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate readings. Could be an illness, could be poor water quality. It's possible the neon was already dead when it got stuck. While it does happen, it's unusual for healthy fish to get stuck or sucked into filters.

Have you done a water change yet and read up on the nitrogen cycle.
