We found a dead goose in front of our warehouse. It was still warm.
There was no blood (ie, the goose was not shot or bitten).

Its neck was broken and had a scratch mark.

We decided to eat it and cleaned this goose to prepare it. We found out
that some of its intestines were ruptured from the fall.

The goose itself seemed otherwise healthy, no parasites etc. Quickly
cooked its heart and liver and it was really good stuff. The goose body
itself, my guy will cook in his kitchen at his house.

The heart was clearly very young and healhy, the meat of it was soft
after just 15 minutes of boiling. We both decided that it was a young
goose.

I am wondering what could cause such a clearly untimely goose death.
Could it have hit overhead wires?

The bible says you're not supposed to eat things you find dead on the
road (see Tom's and Kennedy's comments for reasons, unless you just want
to go with "because God said so").

Putting that aside, it probably got hit by a car and bounced into your
lot, or it smacked into a pole or building or whatnot. It may even have
fallen prey to an ambitious raptor of some sort -- do you have Peregrine
falcons around there?
