Woman dies after being attacked by three dogs in Maryborough
A woman has died after a dog attack in Maryborough on Queensland’s Fraser Coast this morning.
Emergency services were called to a Milton Road property just after 9:00am following reports of three dogs attacking a person.
Acting Inspector Wade Lee said the woman, aged in her late 30s or early 40s, sustained serious injuries to her head, chest and left arm.
He said it is believed the woman was looking after the three dogs at the time.
“The dogs were in an enclosed yard,” he said.
“At this stage it is just a very tragic accident. Initial enquiries reveal there is no criminality involved.”
The woman died at the scene.
Acting Inspector Lee said the dogs were not believed to have been deemed dangerous in the past and the cause of the attack was unknown.
He said the council has seized the dogs and their fate was yet to be determined.
Police are investigating the incident.
