Do you have temperature on? Is it super cold where your fort is? Are you using any mods or have you changed the raws in any fashion?

If you can continuously get this to reproduce at that fort, please upload a save http://dffd.wimbli.com/ [^]

Another possibility is that they're covered in some sort of acid or have a disease. Check the health screen too.

Yeah, check their inventories for spatters of blood/dust/etc from forgotten beasts and/or demons.

Sounds like a forgotten beast with deadly blood. The Z-health screen is your best bet for noticing the problem in time to make an assessment. Usually they'll be "dizzy" or "winded"--probably winded, in your case--right before they croak. From there, you can figure out what forgotten beast blood they have in common (it's probably near the bottom of the list, since in my experience it doesn't take long between exposure and death) and get to work building walls over (or death pits around) the pools of blood from that particular beast.

Reminder sent to: cheesemage

Was some sort of creature blood/secretion being stepped on by your dwarfs?
