Heartbroken dog lies across murdered owner’s grave

Will Warner was murdered in West Nashville last week. His girlfriend was shot in the head. She is critically ill. Police arrested Samuel Earl Rich. He is in custody.

Warner's mum said: "We laid Will to rest this afternoon due to extreme circumstances. This was not the plan but it was necessary."

Warner's body had sadly decomposed under the particular circumstances - perhaps the body was found late. An early burial was arranged. We see a bereaved dog on Warner's grave. That's pretty much all I know. The dog was Warner's companion.
