He was attacked on a property in Egdon, Worcestershire, on Monday. West Mercia police said they responded to a report of a two-year-old boy having a heart attack at about 11.20am. When they arrived at the scene, it appeared that he had been seriously injured by a dog. He was taken from Worcestershire Royal Hospital to Birmingham Children’s Hospital, where he died today. Three dogs have been removed from the property and pose no danger to the public, West Mercia police said. They are currently “housed safely”. Police have not been able to confirm the breed of dogs, but do not believe they are banned. Curator Rebecca Love said: “This is a truly tragic event and our thoughts are with the family at this very difficult time.” “The investigation is ongoing and I would ask for your respect for the family’s privacy at this very painful time,” he added.

Earlier in March, Bella-Rae Birch died after being attacked by her family dog in St Helen, while Kyra Leanne King also died after being attacked in Lincolnshire.
