(KAIR)--The Missouri State Highway Patrol will conduct an investigation into the death of a northwest Missouri police department's K-9 officer.
K-9 Horus was part of the Savannah, Missouri's Police Department, with KSNT reporting that the department, on Monday, confirmed the death of the K-9 officer, with the TV station saying the cause of death was due to Horus being left in a car overnight, in the recent extreme heat, following the completion of an overnight patrol shift. Horus had been witht the department for 3-years.
KQ2-TV this week confirmed the Patrol's investigation, reporting that it was approved by Andrew County's prosecuting attorney after the MSHP requested a special investigation into the K-9's death.
The investigation will be overseen by the Patrol's Division of Drug and Crime Control.
No additional details will be made public, pending the outcome of the investigation.
