Last month, Ramanj Mahajan and his family were visiting New York City from India when they took a horse carriage ride in Central Park.

During the ride, the carriage driver stepped away from the carriage to take a photograph of the family.

The horse bolted, causing...

Romance's mother, Priya, to fall out of the carriage.

Romance then either jumped or fell from the carriage, suffering a severe head injury.

He tragically died later that day.

My heart goes out to the Mahajan family for the
