A married cardiologist has been found dead beside a quiet cow pasture about 15 miles from his $2 million home in Massachusetts.
Dr. Daniel Arnett, 44, was reported missing after leaving for a bicycle ride Saturday morning and failing to return, according to Newbury police.
The father of two was last seen at about 10 a.m. near Colby Farm in Newbury, a small town outside Boston.
He had set out without his cellphone and had not told his family which route he intended to follow.
Investigators discovered his body at about 2 p.m. Sunday near a cow pasture at Tendercrop Farm, roughly 15 miles from his family home in Hamilton.
Authorities have not disclosed his cause of death, but the Essex District Attorney’s Office said foul play is not suspected.
Arnett worked for the Beth Israel Lahey Health system and appeared to be an enthusiastic outdoor adventurer.
Photos shared online showed him fishing near waterfalls, hiking and skiing with his wife, Anne, and their two sons.

Investigators found his body about 15 miles from his $2 million colonial-revival home in Hamilton, Massachusetts.
Arnett was a highly regarded cardiologist who specialized in echocardiography, computed tomography, nuclear cardiology and preventive cardiology, according to his hospital profile.
He graduated from the University of Colorado School of Medicine in 2013, completed a residency in Washington and later moved to Utah for a cardiovascular disease fellowship.

Arnett relocated to Massachusetts in 2021 and had practiced with Beth Israel Lahey Health ever since.
Patients gave the doctor five-star reviews on websites including Healthline and Healthgrades.
Away from his medical career, Arnett appeared to spend much of his free time outdoors with his family.
Public records showed that he held fishing and hunting licenses. When he disappeared Saturday, he was riding a Specialized Tarmac SL7 Sport road bike, a model that retails for about $3,500.
Police located his body near Tendercrop Farm, which lies directly along the Essex Coastal Scenic Byway, a popular route for cyclists.
Tendercrop Farm is a family-owned farmstand in Newbury spread across approximately 800 acres of agricultural fields and pastures, according to its website.

The farmstand is popular with local residents for its wide selection of fresh produce, farm-raised meats, freshly cut flowers and homemade baked goods.
Arnett’s body was found near the farm only hours after another man was discovered dead in the Mill River in neighboring Rowley.
Police did not identify the other man or say whether they suspected foul play in his death.
The district attorney’s office said the two deaths are not believed to be connected.
