Why no necropsy? This doesn't make sense on many levels...

Unfortunately I read the article.......is it just me or was this a clusterxxxx. He was cooling out fine when they "checked his heart" and then the vet started treatment to stabilise it and he eventually lay down and died. To me it's overkill to check a horse that is cooling out fine unless he won't touch his feed later. For pete's sake let the horse cool himself out unless there were other factors going on. I wonder of he was insured" Too many vets spoil the horse,then he was cremated? Somebody shoot me and stop these headaches. Please don't say that they worked him on Ventipulmin as that stuff will have them wired for hours after a workout,I dunno I just feel sick!
