A married cardiologist has been found dead in a quiet cow pasture 15 miles away from his $2 million Massachusetts home.

Dr Daniel Arnett, 44, was reported missing after he went out for a bike ride Saturday morning and failed to return, Newbury police said.

The father-of-two was last seen around 10am near Colby Farm in Newbury, a small town just outside of Boston.

He had gone for a ride without his cell phone and had not told his loved ones what route he planned to take.

Investigators found his body near a cow pasture on Tendercrop Farm, about 15 miles away from his family home in Hamilton, around 2pm Sunday.

His cause of death was not disclosed, but the Essex District Attorney’s Office said foul play is not expected.

Arnett, who worked for the Beth Israel Lahey Health system, appeared to be an outdoors-loving adventurer.

Arnett’s medical career and family life

Photographs shared on social media showed him fishing in waterfalls, hiking and skiing with his wife, Anne, and their two sons.

Arnett was a top cardiologist who specialized in echocardiography, computed tomography, nuclear cardiology and preventive cardiology, his hospital profile said.

He graduated from the University of Colorado School of Medicine in 2013 and then completed a residency in Washington, before moving to Utah for a fellowship in cardiovascular disease.

He moved to Massachusetts in 2021 and had been practicing at Beth Israel Lahey Health ever since.

The doctor had five-star reviews from patients on websites like Healthline and Healthgrades.

When he wasn’t saving lives, Arnett seemed to enjoy spending time in nature with his family.

He held fishing and hunting licenses, public records showed, and had been riding a Specialized Tarmac SL7 Sport road bike – which retails for around $3,500 – when he disappeared on Saturday.

Where Arnett was found

Police found his body near Tendercrop Farm, which sits directly on the Essex Coastal Scenic Byway, a popular cycling route.

Tendercrop Farm is a family-owned farmstand in Newbury that sits on approximately 800 acres of agricultural fields and pastures, according to the farm’s website.

The farmstand is popular among locals because of its vast selection of fresh produce, farm-raised meats, fresh-cut flowers and homemade baked goods.

Arnett’s body was discovered near the farm just hours after another man was found dead in the Mill River in the neighboring town of Rowley.

Police did not release details about the other man’s identity or indicate if foul play was suspected in his death.

The district attorney’s office has said the two deaths are not connected.
