Hard to say.  Albinos can be frail.  It might have just died and then been "eaten at" by the others.  Most healthy "sharks" can handle themselves in that kind of company.  Was he smaller than the barbs?

I may have asked this in another post, but what are your ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate readings?  Do you see any small white spots on anyone?  Maybe on the fins?

pH is OK.  Ammonia & nitrite readings are more urgent.
