It does not occur on camera but a horse goes missing and its bridle is found later, implying its death.

To avoid, skip 1 minute at 45 minutes in and 2 minutes at 48 minutes in.

45 minutes in (skip a minute) when the sheriff is riding in the car listening to the radio talking about wildlife, you’ll skip to where he’s in the diner with his wife and kid. And again 48 minutes in (skip 2 minutes) when the deputy is talking to the woman in the gas station and it’ll cut to a car in the dark it’ll show it immediately after that. If you skip two minutes, you won’t miss much and pick up with the cops in a bar.

A bunch of people are hidden/locked in a room together, and it's quite cramped. May be triggering.
