Well, I did a little research. You thought the squirrel would have fallen out of a tree: they normally don't, and the cat couldn't have knocked it off, because the squirrel would go so high the cat can't follow. It's possible, but unlikely, it died of shock. It could have drowned, or just died of old age.
