51 year old Linda Leal is dead -- apparently from a injuries sustained after she was atacked by her dog.
The woman was found outside her Calusa, CA home Tuesday morning after suffering substantial trauma to her body. Leal had severe medical problems -- including having liver cancer - that let to her bing on a vareity of medications. However, initial reports show that she was alive at the time of the attack so it appears the dog was likely the reason for her death (although nothing will be certain until the final toxicology reports are done in a month).
There were two dogs on the property at the time, but the one dog with the actual history of aggression seems to have been locked up in a kennel at the time of the attack -- while the other dog, described as a 'mixed breed pit bull" was out with the woman.
Not a lot is yet known about the dog or the attack itself -- and I will update if there becomes more information about the case. I will say that if you watch the videos on either of the above links, the conditions the entire family are living in seem far from desirable for anyone.
My heart goes out to the Leal family in this case....as it sounds like they've had more than their share of trials and heartbreak with Linda's severe pain and cancer, and now this.
