Shawn Frehner, a 56-year-old Nevada veterinarian, was found dead in Lake Mead thirteen days after he disappeared following the release of a video showing him kicking a horse. Frehner had been called to treat the horse, Big Red, but was filmed by the owner, Shawna Gonzalez, kicking the animal in the jaw. He was facing felony animal abuse charges and posted a Facebook apology before vanishing on April 6. Authorities began searching Lake Mead shortly after his disappearance, eventually finding his truck and belongings near the reservoir.
His body was recovered on Friday and identified Monday. The cause of death remains unknown, and investigators have not determined whether it was suicide, an accident, or foul play. Gonzalez expressed sorrow over the outcome, stating she never wished harm upon Frehner. The case has raised questions about accountability, mental health, and the consequences of viral exposure in the digital age.
