How unfortunate that the kittens died, you have some hypotheses, like the toads, but, it is only a guess. You must be attentive to know the real reason and avoid future deaths. What a pity that you don't have veterinary help, this situation is worrying, you really needed it, maybe it would have helped you to find out the cause of their illness and even save them. Greetings.

Well, perhaps I see things a little more differently, even if it pains me.
I only really needed the vet to sterilize our cats. But after that, their territorial instinct wanes and the backyard becomes the neighborhood cats' stomping ground.
Secondly, all the kittens in the last picture are foundlings, usually abandoned far too young and still dependent on their mother's milk. We live on an out-of-town road and many people think it's a good idea to drop their kittens off here.
If I had any odds other than 20 to 1 (one in 20 makes it through the first year), we would be buried under cats.
Sad though it is.
