Nesting swan killed. What to do with the eggs?

Hi,

We have a pair of swans nesting at the edge of our lake. Last night we found mom dead with a broken neck on the shore and 3 eggs in the nest, one broken. What could have killed her? Will the eggs be viable, should we take them? Dad is circling around but not nesting, this is so upsetting!
