Are they really really pink or do they have a few pink dots and a pink gut. If it is the former then they may not be ghost shrimp but a close relative the cherry shrimp (A.K.A fire shrimp) If it is the latter then it is probably a function of the food which you are feeding them. Also after they die there bodies turn form Very translucent to Very opaque.

as for what is killing them It could be a fish (especially if there eyes are gone they need one eye as part of the nervous system otherwise they swim till they die) or if you are using medication (or previous medication is leeching out of your carbon) many medications and algae treatments will kill invertebrates.
