I do believe that is a vole of some sort. But I could be wrong.

Well, I've got no idea what the English name for that bugger is, but in Norway we call them "Spissmus"
("Point-Mouse")
Very common...

OP is definatley a shrew.

Voles do not have the pointed nose. Also, voles have very short tails.

Gentlemen, the question is now: What local creature is capable of taking down a shrew?

They are vicious little bastards and the OP should be on his toes if there's something that can kill one lurking around.

Disease or old age most likely, from the fact that the body is unmarked.

Unlike in Finnish. Shrew = päästäinen.

Pää = head, päästää = release, täinen = riddled with lice. WTF is that word supposed to even mean?!

We also have the old-fashioned word nokkahiiri, which means about the same as Spitzmaus.

Shrews are the nature's turbo-charged neurotics. Their heart beats so fast, all they need is to get startled real good by something and they die of cardiac arrest. Cats often kill shrews accidentally this way and then abandon the body because shrews either smell or taste (I forget which) horrible to the predator.

I don't know, but it sounds pretty metal.
