Generally heavily weeded lakes are less likely to suffer dangerously low oxygen levels than algae dominated waters. That said a completely choked lake isn't ideal and if too much of the weed suddenly dies back at the same time there will likely be low d.o..
Big fish are usually old fish and nothing lasts forever, I'd be more concerned if multiple young fish were dying.

I'd imagine the excessive heat will only add to the normal mortalities for whatever reason, of which there could be many. Have any of the fish been checked for signs of disease or being spawn bound? Were they always that weight?

No don't think it was aerated, 12 acres with very excessive weed growth this year !

I've just heard of a 50 which has died on my syndicate water, plus a couple of 40s, has anyone else around the country had the same thing happen ?

It's well after spawning , is this unusually hot Summer to blame .
