Generally, no. Toads must usually see their food move before they eat it.

Adult toads eat insects and invertebrates, such as flies, grasshoppers, Spiders, beetles, crickets, grubs, slugs, centipedes, millipedes and worms.

Larger types of toad, such as cane toads, are big enough to eat small rodents like mice as well, and small lizards. Since their introduction to Australia, cane toads have posed a great threat to native frog species, eating them as well.

Having said that, however, there are some species of toads which eat dead animals, and even leftover dog food or cat food. It is conceivable that they might feast on the juicier parts of a dead companion.
