The 84-year-old was walking home in Warrington, Cheshire when the dog attacked him.

He was attacked on Monday, February 24 and was rushed to hospital.

The local man sustained serious injuries and despite “fighting so hard since the attack”, he sadly passed away on Sunday, March 30.

Detective Inspector Simon Mills, of the Major Investigation Team at Cheshire Police, said: “This was a tragic incident, and our thoughts are with the family of the victim at this difficult time.

“The victim has fought so hard since the attack but sadly his injuries were too much, and despite the best efforts of the specialist medical teams who have supported him since the attack, he has now passed away.

“To endure such pain and anguish at the hands of an animal is unimaginable, and I cannot begin to comprehend the distress that his family are currently suffering following such an horrific incident.

“Nobody should have to go through what they have experienced, and our specialist officers are providing them with the support they need at this truly awful time.”
