The animal's death comes less than 24 hours before council members are scheduled to gather on the steps of City Hall in support of Ryder's Law, which aims to phase out the city's horse-drawn carriages.
The legislation has been named in memory of a carriage horse, Ryder, who also died in 2022 under similar circumstances.
