Should I feed my bearded dragons dead dubia roaches?

I was just checking up on my colony and I found a dead large nymph and adult male. I've fed my bearded dragons dead dubias before and never had an issue but I don't know if these are okay. The abdomens feel softer than usual. I think they might be full of gases but their abdomens don't look inflated. I'd rather throw them away just to be safe but I'm just wondering if they're still okay to feed.

    They're feeder roaches right? I'm not sure but you'd be surprised what they eat in the back yard enclosure we made them (Florida). No one ever got sick. They eat butterflies, flies anything that crawls or they can chase down. they dig in the ground for rubs too! Oh but they won't survive fire ants. They'll just sit there and get bit! We have to check daily and make sure there aren't any out there.
