I don't think it can be determined with any certainty what the cause
of death was, but possibility of exposure to fumes, or chemicals?
I also would think they would have been spread out had it been
the heat. If there was water in the cage they may have even tried
to get wet? It is a very sad story and a reminder to us all how
fragile these guys are, and careful we have to be.
They both had insulinoma, and other health problems, making them
much more suseptible to stress, and heat, or other environmental
changes.
Just pointing out other possibilities since there is nothing to be done
now, and if the owner believes this person meant no harm, and is
willing
to be so understanding, I believe we should do the same.
