His dog was able to escape and is now living with another resident across the street.
“He needed help and didn't get it, and we want to know why not,” said neighbour and friend Adam McNeill. “We lost a neighbour and friend in a really tight knit, supportive community.”
McNeill and other residents in the area said Carson’s mental state started devolving in recent weeks.
“'We rallied to get this person the support they needed,” said McNeill.
He added, “The authorities did come and take him away whether he wanted that help or not. We were relieved, and we thought he's going to get the help he needs. Twelve hours later he was dropped off and his situation continued to degenerate in a tragic and sad way. There was nothing more we could do.”
