Question Frogs have swollen up and died?

Hi all
The winter has cleared up and it was terrible in scotland. I checked my pond and found three dead common frogs. They have swollen up and are almost about to burst.

How did this happen?

Was it a parasite?

Thanks James :)

It's more likely they died from the cold, if it was indeed a terrible winter. That they are so bloated means they've probably just been dead a while.
