Field mice deaths in humane traps

Hello,
I've been having a bit of mice problems in the house and have been using catch and release traps. So far the catch and release traps have been working spectacularly, 6 fields mice caught and released all healthy. I do not use poison.

Today I opened one of my traps to find two young mice, one dead the other on the brink of death, shallow breath and twitching. Now I'm worried that the mice might be potentially carrying a disease, or it ate some bird seeds out of a box I was trying to disinfect with lysol wipes. Should I be concerned?

I felt bad for the little guy he looked like he was suffering, I didn't know what to do. Is it best to let them die naturally like that, or is there a more humane way to send them off .
