They don't always survive for long periods of time in bad conditions. Only enough of them to perpetuate the myth that they can live in bowls.
Most of the time in community tanks, the fish dies first for whatever reason, other fish start nibbling, and then the owner thinks the other fish killed the dead one. I'd do a few things in your situation: QT your tank, minimum three weeks. Watch all of the other fish very closely during that time for any symptoms of illness or bullying. That means no new betta for that time period. If you don't have a water testing kit, take a sample of your water to the pet store for analysis. I know that the two big chains (PetSmart and PetCo) both do free testing, and most privately owned fish or pet stores will do the same. The last thing I would do is start doing frequent water changes, gotta keep the water clean. The solution to pollution is dilution. I can't tell you how many friends of mine have been in denial, when their fish start dying they will name any other reason in the book, but the fact of the matter is, they weren't keeping up on water changes and it was killing their fish.
