LOL! DH is 200 lbs., the mouse about an ounce. Mouse looked plump and round. I think we can rule out the stepped-on theory!

Poison (whether from neighbors or previous residents) seems to be the main theory.

Since their nest is well behind some wall board in the kitchen, I am really hoping they weren't all poisoned. Rotting mouse is not my favorite aroma therapy scent and I don't want to take apart the kitchen looking for them. If they are all thoughtful enough to come into the middle of the room to die, I will be grateful!
