Lamb Cause of death?

Hi,
2 weeks ago I bought a small batch of lambs and one has died. Its got bloody nose and a bloody fluid sac/blister on its belly and couple of areas where looks like it may have had others which have burst. They have not mixed with my main flock yet but I was going to move some so would like to know what caused it incase it may affect others.

Just wondering if any one on here can help me with identifying it’s likely cause of death?

Thanks

@ARR did you find out what your lamb died from

Not sure for certain,
All of the others seem fine. They were on some free grazing and there was a horse in part of the field separated by an electric fence which the lambs sometimes went under so guessing it may have been kicked or killed by the horse as I have heard of it happening before. I have now moved them out of that field.
