The mauling occurred in the yard and on the property that the dogs belonged to and the woman came to the residence to feed the dogs for the owner who was out of town, Kennedy said.
He said the woman’s death appears to be a non-criminal incident and out of respect for the woman’s family, no other details will be released.
