Written by The Canadian Press on November 22, 2024
Police say an 81-year-old woman is dead after a dog attack at her northern Ontario home.
Ontario Provincial Police say officers responded on Monday to a residence in Bonfield, near North Bay, after a 911 call reported a person had been fatally injured in a dog attack.
Const. Kyler Brouwer says three dogs that also reportedly lived in the home were involved in the attack.
He says the 81-year-old, who investigators believe was alone at the time of the attack, died at the home.
Police say no foul play is suspected, and no charges have been laid.
Brouwer say the dogs have been quarantined with a local animal welfare agency, in what he described as a routine step after an attack.
