I thought this was going to be one of those stories tied to a historical photograph of Boston, not a current event. Poor horse!

There’s a metaphor here somewhere and it’s on the city we love.

It’s sad the horse had to die doing hard labor instead of grazing in the pasture.
Slipped, hit head, possibly suffered a heart attack

But I'm laughing SO HARD that someone put in a 311 dead animal pickup for this horse (who presumably was with a handler capable of managing the issue).

It has to be an omen of some kind. Did anyone check the corpse? If the decedent was embalmed there was no need to check. Once you embalmed you are definitely dead.
