Overview
- Dr. Daniel Arnett, 44, a cardiologist affiliated with Lahey Health, was located deceased near the Tendercrop Farm cow pasture after being reported missing following a solo bicycle ride.
- The Essex County District Attorney’s Office confirmed Arnett’s identity and said investigators do not suspect foul play, but the office has not disclosed how he died.
- A separate man’s body was found in the Mill River in neighboring Rowley and has not been publicly identified; prosecutors say that case is being handled as unrelated to Arnett’s death.
- Family and friends were present at the Newbury scene when emergency crews responded, and local police and the DA’s office are the primary sources of public updates.
- Authorities continue routine investigative steps such as autopsies and evidence review, and officials say they will release cause-of-death information and identification of the Rowley decedent when available.
