Man found dead in Hamilton; attacked by dog

I edited my last post.

Case closed? So you've determined this dog is the devil and should be put to sleep pronto, based on breed alone?

You keep flipping too hard too keep up. Breed really doesn't play into it its Unlicensed, unregistered, owner hasn't come forth so unknown origin doesn't add up to something worth keeping. That be the cold hard facts. Now you can play a violin as much as you want and you may sway the weak and sympathetic but this isn't a warm and fuzzy dog.

So the coroner is confirming there was an attack and the above posted petition is saying the dog didn't touch him, which is false. There are injuries but they didn't cause the death. According to this artcle it was his sister that stated his body wasn't touched.



Dog definitely attacked man, but almost 2,500 still petition to save it

An autopsy did not reveal an obvious cause of death, so now the coroner is waiting on toxicology reports to figure out what killed him. That could take up to six weeks, Stanborough said.
Brigmantas' sister Mandy McCullogh posted about the incident on a Facebook page called Save Ontario Dogs earlier this week, and said her brother died of "natural causes due to a completely unrelated health issue."
She also said she spoke directly to the coroner and detectives about her brother's death, and claimed his body didn't have any bite marks on it. Stanborough said that isn't the case, and that there is no confirmed cause of death yet.
"I don't think she is basing her comments on fact," he said.
McCullogh deleted her post from the group shortly after being contacted by a CBC reporter.

I stated earlier that very little makes sense to us at this juncture. That said, what this man died of is something yet to be determined. The sister's comment supports that there is much more to this case than meets the eye/ear. Sounds like she has her own concerns for safety.
Whether the dog repeatedly bit a dying man or an already dead man is irrelevant. "IF" it did, the resulting response should be obvious to EVERYONE.
Somehow, if a petition is raised, it makes the source of said petition 100% correct. ?????
Clueless folk are out there in numbers.
Need proof?
What party did a majority of Ontarians last vote for?

Where did the dog come from, and how did the dead guy acquire it? Why haven't they euthanized it yet? ( they're obviously holding off for a reason or it would've been done already)

Looks like he did own the dog.

She described the dog, owned by Brigmantas and his cousin, as gentle, at least "until you went near his food." She also said that when Brigmantas dropped the leash, the dog would attack him in a playful manner.

Her facebook page kinda contradicts her story.

They ended up putting the dog down. It never had a chance:

"The dog has been left with different people for days at a time, not fed and also trained to have an attack word," she said.

I guess that should put the matter to rest,right?

I guess that should put the matter to rest,right?

Still want to know how the guy died, how badly he was mauled prior to his death and why they said the attack had nothing to do with his death.

Inquiring minds want to know

My JRT has an attack word - "SQUIRREL!"
