Dog Found in Freezer of La Jolla Home [Graphic Video]

San Diego animal control is reportedly investigating a bizarre report of a small dog found dead in a freezer.

Animal control is reportedly investigating the death of a mixed breed Chihuahua found dead in a freezer of a La Jolla home. 

NBC reported that last week investigators found the animal in a Avenida de las Pescas house, which was also raided three weeks ago by police. In addition, investigators found that some 20 dogs and cats were living on site.

An animal control investigator told the news station that an autopsy would be performed to determine the cause of death.

Former tenants say Victoria Turner was running her Animal Rescue Coalition from the home, NBC reported.
