A 6-month old boy was killed this morning after he was bitten multiple times by a dog at a residence in Primrose, Johannesburg.
ER24 paramedics arrived on the scene at approximately 08h15 and found another service already in attendance.
Paramedics were lead into the lounge of the home where they found the body of the child.
Paramedics assessed the young boy and found that he had sustained several serious bite wounds and showed no signs of life. Unfortunately, the boy had already succumbed to his injuries. Nothing more could be done and he was declared dead.
The exact details surrounding this incident are not yet known but local authorities were on the scene for further investigations.
