UNION, W.Va. (AP) – Monroe County police plan to file more charges in a dog attack case now that the 70-year-old victim has died from his injuries.
Sheriff Michael Gravely says Lindside resident Lowell Bowden died in a Roanoke, Va. hospital on Friday.
Bowden was attacked by four or five pit bulls near his home last month. Four of the dogs have been euthanized, while police are determining if a fifth animal was part of the attack.
Four people were charged with misdemeanors stemming from the attack last week.
Gravely says Bowden’s death means police will soon file additional charges.
