Update/Statement re: Tech XX

Early Wednesday afternoon, Louisiana Tech University learned of the passing of Tech XX through the following communication from Dr. Patrick Sexton.

Regretfully, I learned this morning that through negligence of an employee, Tech XX was left outside too long on Sunday evening and passed away from a heat stroke. That employee unfortunately chose to handle it the wrong way and attempted to cover it up. Due to this negligence, the employee is no longer employed by Sexton Animal Health Center.

My family, my staff and I are extremely upset at this tragic turn of events as I know the entire Louisiana Tech Family is as well. Tech XX was a member of our immediate family and a daily part of our lives for the past four years. We are devastated over the circumstances of his passing and there will be a large void in our hearts for some time to come. As with any family member, we will spend considerable time grieving his passing.

Patrick R. Sexton, DVM

Statement from Louisiana Tech University:

“Louisiana Tech University was saddened to learn of Tech XX’s passing this past Sunday evening. He will be remembered for being a fan favorite and a symbol of the spirit of Louisiana Tech.

Since becoming our official mascot in 2008, Tech XX received superior care and a loving home from Dr. Patrick Sexton and, despite the unfortunate circumstances of the past few days, we are grateful for all he and his family have done for our beloved mascot.

Tech XX was a cherished member of the Louisiana Tech Family and, together, we will all grieve his passing.”

Was never missing. Left outside and died of heat stroke. :furious3:

It was a cover-up the entire time. Wow.

This is a horrible and unfortunate series of events.


RIP Tech XX.

OMG. Our worst nightmare. So sorry for all involved, so, so sorry. RIP Dos Equis, you will be missed by us all.

What a fool whoever that employee was

This is a criminal act and charges should be pursued.

Would neutering the guy that did it and spaying her if a girl be a tad too harsh? :argue:

What did the employee do with the body for the past 2-3 days?!!? Just dumped it somewhere? ...our poor dog... Past time for a change in how we handle this...

and to fool everyone into believing XX was gone... that means the employee found XX dead and "did away" with him to make it look as though he ran off or was stolen.

He needs to be disciplined in the Rabbs parking lot by some Tech students

Wow. Sorry for the Tech family. Even more sorry for the pup.

Surely, someone that works at an animal clinic wouldn't have the heart to jsut "do away" with the body of a beloved pet and mascot. If so then I think Dr. Sexton needs to take a look at who he is hiring to work at his business.
