Kitten died suddenly. Could a dog attack two weeks ago be the cause?

I found my baby kitten dead at 3 something this morning. I saved her from being attacked by our dog 2weeks ago. Do you think that she died of some trauma to her little body.

I am sorry to hear about your loss. That is definitively possible unfortunately as soft tissues injuries could be not immediately visible and even minimal bleeding can be fatal to kittens of that age unfortunately.
