Not all kittens die that early on. If the kitten hasnt got a mother or a owner looking after it that may be the reason why. It may not be getting enough to eat or if it's a outdoor cat it may be too cold.

Mom cats often adopt another cat's litter, especially if the mom recently gave birth. For young kittens, that's okay BUT mom will need more food with protein (e.g. a good dry and wet food). However, 12-week old kittens should NOT be nursing. Separate the older kittens from their "adopted" mom and get them onto dry food.
