Soapsuds, the beloved horse of humorist Will Rogers, died after suffering from a severe case of colic. Despite efforts to treat him, the condition proved fatal. Rogers was deeply saddened by the loss of his horse, reflecting the strong bond they shared. Soapsuds was not only a companion but also an integral part of Rogers' performances and life.
