HEMET [california] (CBSLA.com) — Authorities say a 91-year-old woman who was found dead in her motel room was apparently mauled to death by her two pit bulls.
Elsie Grace was found dead in her room at a Motel 6, in the 3900 block of Florida Avenue, in Hemet Friday morning.
“The victim had a great deal of trauma to her body,” Hemet police Lt. Duane Wisehart said. “(At) this time, it appears to be a horrific accident.”
Police were called to the motel about noon. An autopsy on Grace, who most recently lived in Desert Hot Springs, is pending, Wisehart said.
Grace and her son were staying at the motel because they were in the middle of relocating and were looking for a new residence in Hemet, Wisehart said. Grace’s son was gone at the time of the attack.
The two dogs were seized by animal control officials and are expected to be euthanized.
wow.
It’d be a bigger story if she had mauled them.
//sarcasm (apologizing)
I really wonder what percentage of these are the dogs killing the person, or the person (in this case 91 years old) dying and the dogs’ hunger getting to them.
Especially if you don’t hear screams or cries for help, which someone under a dog attack would do, at least for a little while.

You are 100% correct!
Dogs of piece...
I’m betting the son owns the pits as part of his urban swagger.
Whatever happened to Chet99? Was he finally mauled to death by pit bulls?
The police show up and don’t even shoot the dogs. What’s up with that?

I’m shocked, shocked I tell you.
The title must be a misprint. This sounds more like something Cocker Spaniels would do. /s
“(At) this time, it appears to be a horrific accident.”
Oh come on. That ain’t no accident!
My cousin is quadriplegic with limited use of her arms and she has five pitbulls. Her elderly mother visits - my elderly mother visited and reports that the dogs are very sweet and well-behaved - better than my Lab mix.
My cousin and her husband used to have drug dealers next door - got pit bulls then and loved them.
Me, I would never have them. Hate the look of them.
>>Whatever happened to Chet99<<
Something to do with the Paul/Sarah wars. I think he accused JR of being a commie or some such.
I toast his memory with every pitbull story. :)
