A man who was attacked by one of his son’s pet dogs bled to death after being bitten on the leg. An inquest heard that attempts were made to stem the bleeding from Keven Jones' left leg but died at his son's house in Holt Road, Wrexham.
At the inquest opening in Ruthin, Home Office pathologist Dr Matthew Lyall gave the provisional cause of death as loss of blood due to a leg injury.
John Gittins, senior coroner for North Wales East and Central, said that police officers were called to the house on May 23 by ambulance staff who had applied a tourniquet to Mr Jones’ leg.
