Not sure what happened to this poor guy, you often find dead shrews that have been killed and left but very rarely dead mice ?

It was a Cleaver !
A little cut and paste info, save me typing !
The very young plant tips aren't that sticky, so you can add these fresh to salads.
Tender leaves and stems can be simmered in a small amount of water and served as a vegetable with a little butter and lemon juice. This may not work with older plants as the stickers may not soften up.
According to Tull, Euell Gibbons, naturalist and author of Stalking the Healthful Herbs (David McKay 1966), suggests that the small fruits can be roasted and made into a suitable coffee substitute. Take them off the stem with gloves and roast them in an oven until dark brown. Grind them in a coffee grinder and make "coffee" as normal.
