Possessed rodents can spin their heads 360 degrees. Seeing as how most rodents are possessed, it's hard to tell if the cause of death was due to a neck injury. You'll have to contact your county coroner to be sure. I'm sure they're well-versed in common causes of rodential death.

I am an owner of a pet rat, and no they do not rotate their heads at 360 degree angles. Sounds like that rodent had it's neck broken!
