usually depends on the time of year.
Further
information
Like all living things, newts don't live forever and
it's quite natural to come across dead individuals every now and
again. This could be due to extreme weather in winter,
predators in spring, dehydration in
the summer or simply old age!
Amphibians can also suffer from a variety of infections and
viruses (that may or may not kill them), some of which are of
serious concern.
