A Taylorsville, Utah, woman whose leg had been amputated due to an attack by her son’s pit bulls last week has died in the hospital.

The attack took place on Oct. 31, and involved a pair of 3-year-old adult pit bulls, one male and one female, and their five puppies. The adult female dog was later shot dead after getting away from officers. None of the seven dogs were legally licensed.

“We are saddened to confirm the passing of a Taylorsville resident following a dog attack … The victim of the attack suffered critical injuries to her face, hands and legs, including one that required amputation. She died at the hospital on Monday,” the Taylorsville Police Department posted Tuesday on Facebook.

The 63-year-old victim had gone into her 38-year-old son’s backyard to feed the dogs when the attack happened. The deceased has since been identified as Sandra Miller.

“Our family would like to thank the dispatcher for staying on the phone with our mother. The police officers that didn’t hesitate to get to her as soon as possible. We’d also like to thank the paramedics, nurses, the doctors, the trauma team and everyone that helped our mother,” Ms. Miller’s family told KSTU-TV in a statement.

The other six dogs involved, taken by West Valley City Animal Services, were all put down due to their involvement in the attack, according to KSL-TV.

No charges have been announced against Ms. Miller’s son, whose name has not been publicly disclosed.
