Neglected Bibb County horse succumbs to malnutrition

A neglected horse in Bibb County has died.

The horse's owner had surrendered him after reports of malnutrition. Rescuers were trying to nurse him back to health, but he died Wednesday afternoon.

A vet says he was 400 pounds underweight. Because the owner surrendered the horse, he will not face any charges.
