Generally, hawks are considered apex predators of their food chain (No natural predators) but what ate the hawk you are speaking of would depend on the scenario.
Hawks can be preyed upon by eagles and larger hawks. If the hawk is roosting, a large snake can attempt an easy meal. The hawk could also have been injured and unable to fly, making it prey to all sorts of ground-based animals such as bears, snakes, large reptilians, etc. It is also possible that the hawk was already dead at the time it was eaten, wherein at that point vultures or a bear could've feasted on it as bears are known for eating carcasses.
