Can be stress from an altercation or being chased relentlessly

Yeh, Its a thing, seen it frequently in other forest parks, dead deer with little physical damage, deer are very anxious animals and there hearts just give out from the stress of constant harassment.
Feral dogs in the bush aren't like a pack of wolves pulling an animal down and ripping them apart.

Sort of like a domestic cat play with a mouse, and once its dead they just move on, not even interested in feeding.
