A pony found mutilated on Dartmoor in what was claimed could be a Pagan ritual died of natural causes, according to Devon and Cornwall police.
A pony was found near Plymouth with organs and features missing or placed outside its body in July this year - leading to fears it could have been deliberately killed and arranged as part of a ritual.
Police say their investigation has concluded, and that the animal died of natural causes.
They say the mutilation was down to wild animals.
