Nesting female died leaving male swan alone with eggs

Hi there,

We have swans in a pond on my company's property. The female was attacked by a fox (we think) and the male is now alone sitting on the eggs. Will he continue to incubate the eggs and if so, will he be able to take care of the cygnets once they hatch? I am so super sad about this!!
