West Mercia Police can confirm that the breed of dog involved in the death of a two-year-old boy from Egdon, Worcestershire, is a rottweiler.
The child sustained serious injuries at his home in Egdon on Monday 28 March. Following treatment at Worcestershire Royal Hospital he was transferred to Birmingham Children’s Hospital where he sadly died on Wednesday 30 March.
At this time we cannot confirm how many dogs were involved in the incident but three rottweiler dogs have been removed from the property.
They are being looked after and securely housed. The boy’s family will not be releasing a statement or tribute at this time and request that their privacy is respected at this extremely difficult time.
