The Gila County Sheriff's Office is investigating the death of one of the county's K-9s.
A GCSO statement, released Thursday, did not make it clear when the dog, named Simba, passed away. The sheriff's office expressed gratitude for the K-9's service and dedication.
According to the sheriff's office, there is an active investigation surrounding the circumstances of Simba's death. GCSO declined to release more details to "ensure the integrity of the investigation."
