No evidence of chemical exposure found in death of 6-week-old calf near East Palestine

EAST PALESTINE, Ohio - The Ohio Department of Agriculture has released the final lab results for a six-week-old beef calf that died near East Palestine.
The calf died on February 11, about eight days after the Norfolk Southern train derailment.
A necropsy was performed on the calf recently. According to the American College of Veterinary Pathologists, a necropsy is an examination of an animal after death with the purpose of determining the cause of death or extent of disease.
According to the results of the necropsy on the animal, there was no outward evidence of chemical irritation or exposure. A cause of death couldn't be identified but the department said there is nothing to support chemical toxicity as a cause of death.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources previously studied four other wild animal deaths and found no evidence of chemical toxicity as a cause of death.
Six more dead wild animals were submitted for testing Tuesday including three raccoons, two muskrats and a snapping turtle.
All six animals were found dead in or around Sulphur Run.
