Massachusetts Cardiologist, 44, Found Dead After Vanishing on a Bike Ride: Medical Examiner Rules Death a Suicide
The Massachusetts Office of the Chief Medical Examiner has confirmed that Dr. Daniel Arnett, a 44-year-old cardiologist, died from a gunshot wound to the head and that his death has been ruled a suicide. Arnett vanished during a Saturday morning bike ride in Newbury, Massachusetts, and was found dead the next day; the ruling was reported on November 12.
Arnett was last seen at about 10 a.m. on Saturday, November 7, riding his bicycle in Newbury. He had not taken his cellphone and had left no route, and was described by police as an 'overdue cyclist.' Shortly after 2 p.m. on November 8, his body was found near the cow pasture at Tendercrop Farm, about three miles from where he was last spotted. The Essex County District Attorney's Office had previously said investigators did not suspect foul play.
Arnett was a cardiologist with Beth Israel Lahey Health, where he had practiced since 2021, specializing in echocardiography, cardiac CT, nuclear cardiology and preventive cardiology. He is survived by his wife, Anne, and two sons; an obituary remembered him as a 'beloved husband, father, son and brother' and an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed cycling, skiing, hiking and fishing, with a memorial service set for November 14. In the United States, people in crisis can call or text the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988.
