So Confused.... RIP Carpenters Wrasse

So I come home today to find my beloved carpenters wrasse dried out on the floor. What confuses me is how it got out? I have a screen lid covering the tank and it was in the same spot as when I left. Such a shame.

That stinks...any chance you can take a picture of the screen top, maybe we can help prevent another jumper.
 
I don't have a close up but will post one tonight. I was baffled by this. Best part was that my cat, which seems to find just about every insect in the house, did not find the fish and eat it as I would have thought it to be dead in the tank.

Best I have right now.

Hard to tell exactly from the photo but it looks like there is some room to jump out by the back. I run my cords through the screen (you have to cut a tiny slit to get the power cord through) to prevent having any openings. I run the cords near the corner by the overflow for two reasons: fish can't get a straight shot at the opening and I can swing my screen off the tank like a swivel for cleaning. So far my screen is winning though I have heard several times my fish bouncing off the screen.
