EAST GREENWICH, R.I. -- The trail of the apparently rabid fox spotted in town this week has gone cold, police reported on Saturday morning. According to Lt. Brian Clement, the last confirmed sighting was at about 5 p.m. Thursday and the last unconfirmed report was later that night.
"No news is good news at this point," Clement said.
Nonetheless, Clement said, Frenchtown Park is closed until further notice as a precaution.
On Thursday, Animal Control Officer Renee Young said death typically results from five to seven days after onset of symptoms.
