I thought this was going to

Roslindale Believe it or Not
There’s a metaphor here somewhere and it’s on the city we love.
Poor horse
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
The Globe has more.
This is why
This is why Boston needs horse lanes.
Troll lanes
And Troll Booths.
OK I know I'm going to hell for this
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).

I guess you can't beat this one.

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.
