There are some differences between your rat and mine. It might be just the angle of your photos, but some organs look a little enlarged and slightly discolored. But it could also be because the body has been sitting for a while too.

I don't think it's possible to see any cause of the illness w/ the necropsy alone. It looks generally ok. It would need to go through pathology to test samples.
