Fatal Incident Summary

Offender:	No Info
Location:	NC USA Fri. Dec. 28, 2012
Summary:	Detective Shane Thomas died due to complications from an injury he sustained while taking part in mounted patrol training in May 2009. He was training at Horseshoe Farms when the horse he was riding reared and fell on top of him, breaking his neck and rendering him a quadriplegic. He was airlifted to Mission Hospital and spent the next four months rehabilitating in Atlanta, Georgia. Detective Thomas returned home in October 2009 but had limited mobility. With the assistance of voice activated computer software, he was able to return to work with the sheriff's office performing computer data entry and managing confidential information about drug dealers. Detective Thomas developed complications from his spinal injuries and passed away on December 28th, 2012, as a result.
