How big was this fox? Could be of natural causes...Old age!!!!I know felines will go to a secluded spot behind work benches when it's time to die... Maybe that why it went inside the shed to protect itself from predators. They know they are not feeling well and on it's last leg..They will go to places to die and try to get out of their predator way!!!
Maybe it drank something in the shed too... I know that people kill coyotes by putting out pans of antifreeze.. Could have gotten into some chemicals...Maybe it ate rat poison that the farmer had out in the shed?
??
Being that it was inside a building too....Who knows the thing might have climbed up high fell and hit it's head on let say the metal saw blade... maybe something gave out when they were trying to get at someting in the shed...They fell to their death....
My thinking is just where the fox carcass was found...Something happen inside that building... Natural cause, poison, a bad fall. Maybe it was just bumped by a vehicle and it ran inside the shed because it was hurting and bleed internally?
