A county spokeswoman only told NJ Advance Media that Ember, a red fox Labrador, died but didn’t respond to additional questions about the dog’s death.

Gloucester County Commissioner Christopher Konawel Jr. says he only found out the canine died in an anonymous phone call. Now, he's seeking answers.

"We have to figure out what exactly happened so this doesn't happen again," Konawel told ABC 6 Action News. "Yes, it is under active investigation, but we still deserve to know."
