Yeah, that's a male. I think he's a Carolina mantis too. His rear end might have gotten ripped during mating, or someone thought he'd make a good snack. Either way there's nothing you can to do help him other than euthanize him I'm afraid. The freezer is what we use to put our mantises to sleep. Thank you for trying to care for this little guy.I like to give my mantises a bit of honey and a good drink (typically I mix the honey and water together) before I set them in the freezer. They usually go crazy for honey so it's just something I like to think makes it easier. Typically, on the human because you're giving the mantis a snack they love before they pass on.
