It's called capture myopathy. Wild things are horrified by human handling, some more than others, and the little guy would have been cortisol-saturated from his initial capture and probable long-term isolation from a pack. Sometimes even the most sensitive handling and treatment is too much, and the animal dies. Happens in birds, too.
