Were there little experimental animals in there?

...The cause (click here) of the accident was not immediately known, said NASA mission commentator Dan Huot....

I am serious, I want to know if living things died in that payload.

The cause? It blew up. The primary principle in rocketry is to get it aloft and keep going. In the case of NASA, they prefer to make it to the place in Earth's atmosphere where the heaviest equipment imaginable become weightless. It cuts down on the fuel.

I am not happy.
