Dog found dead in Willimantic River
A dog was found dead on the ice in the Willimantic River on Friday, according to the Willimantic Police Department.
The Windham Animal Control was notified after a report of a small dog lying motionless near the center of the river close to the waterfall.
Emergency personnel responded and found that the dog was already dead and had been laying on a cardboard box on unstable ice.
While the police and fire department worked to create a plan to rescue the dog, the ice broke apart, and the dog was carried downstream.
It is still unknown how the dog ended up in the river, and what the causes of death were.
Animal control and the Willimantic Police Department are currently investigating the incident and are looking to find out who was involved and how the dog entered the water.
Anyone with information can call the police department at 860-465-3135.
