It's a rule that when the mother is dead the babies are dead as well. I have learned this from a vet who works at the animal clinic of the university in Munich/Germany who is specialized in reptiles.
Also, judged by the photo this boa wasn't gravid. I think the lump results from a different reason.
Maybe the boa was ill for some time and now the disease has finished her off.

The autopsy will show it.

I am very sorry for your loss. It was a beautiful Hoggy. Don't give up, try again with another one. And weigh your boas regularly. Loss of weight is a serious sign that something is wrong.
