I'm a little north of you and live beside my pond. So I really watched it close during this freeze over. I only saw one bluegill floating and that could have been from a GBH. I doubt it was from the freeze, but otters or some other predictor may have caused what you are seeing. I would wait till it warms up a little more and reassess. Sometimes we pond owners tend to over react a tad.
