Not sure that there's a more humane way to handle it besides what you're already doing.

Very sad, though.
That is what I am thinking , they got into some poison and since there is no way of knowing for sure the mice should NOT be set free.
A hawk or other animal could eat the mice and dies too or get very sick . It would best to help the poor thing cross over the Rainbow bridge for mice . Then call the health department and see what the best way to handle the bodies .
