It's been very dry, but that has to be exteme to kill raspberries. Overwatering/poor drainage? Either of those quite difficult to achieve in a season like this. Often going with poor drainage or replanting new canes in an old raspberry bed is a Phytophthora fungal root rot, this is a fungus spread in ground water and living in the soil for many years. For reasons I don't understand, autumn fruiting raspberries seem harder to kill. FWIW, I'm not a great fan of long cane planting, your success rate is similar to my experience of them, then you won't get much cane growth from them this season, so it'll be a light crop next season. So you miss out on a years fruit anyway, prune hard at planting (tht's the conventional way) you miss fruit this year, plant long cane you get a little this year on those that survive, then little if any next year.
