Human Fatality(ies)

A man called Américo Sampaio, which was a delivery person, was delivering some firewood to a 82-year-old woman when her 4 pitbulls attacked him at Minas de Leão, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil.

One of the dogs had to be sacrificed during the rescuing procedures, and the others were sent to an animal shelter after a judicial order on September 10th, since the owner refused to give them voluntarily.

The victim was sent to ICU within the same day and was put into induced coma, but didn't resist to the attack and died today, September 11th.
