Coroner: Ohio woman killed by dog suffered multiple injuries


SHAKER HEIGHTS, Ohio (AP) — A medical examiner says a woman fatally mauled by a pit bull in a Cleveland suburb died from bite wounds and crushing injuries to the neck, throat and body.

The cause of death for 71-year-old Annie Williams of Cleveland was released Tuesday. She was attacked Sunday while visiting relatives at the Shaker Heights home where the dog lived and later died at a hospital. A neighbor stopped the attack by shooting the dog as it mauled Williams in the driveway of the relatives’ home. Police later shot and killed the dog.

A Shaker Heights police spokesman said Tuesday there was no new information to release about the attack. He said Monday no arrests had been made because no one living at the home had claimed ownership of the dog.
