Answer:

If eagles died of disease, the number of snakes that prey on rats will increase, which will decrease the number of rats. Also, eagles will cause the and rabbit population to increase, decreasing the plant population and therefore decreasing the rat population because of the lack of food.

tldr; rats will decrease if eagles died of disease.
