I have a suspicion that she tried to stop a fight and wound up caught in the cross hairs, particularly since it mentioned a bite on her ankle, as though she kicked at them as they fought and was bitten in the melee.
““They would get in fights with each other. They would take it out on her if I wasn’t around.”
Seriously, breaking up a dog fight is risky business, especially in a breed of that size and even though you hate to let them continue, you need to protect yourself, first.
However, there is this puzzling bit
“An officer who responded to the home for a possible overdose found...”
“ “Numerous” beer cans and medication bottles were also strewn about the living room and kitchen, according to the station.
“Matthews told police that his wife started most mornings by drinking beer and taking “numerous” prescription medications”
She’s dead in the bathroom, the dogs are outside, there’s a bite on her ankle and the dogs “killed her”?
This whole thing is just weird.
PSA: Do NOT mix drugs and alcohol, kiddies.
