Amputee killed by dogs in SC (Photo: ABC News) |
The coroner added that Freeman was able to report to EMS that he was pulled from his wheelchair by his legs as he tried to fight off the dogs and that they all were biting him and pulling at his clothes.
"Upon my examination of Mr. Freeman, it is a wonder that this gentleman was able to hang on as long as he did," Nesbit said in a statement. "He had bites and lacerations from his legs to the top of his head. This is very sad story, but even worse that Mr. Freeman was basically helpless to the attack, due to being a bi-lateral amputee."
Three of the four dogs have been captured and brought to an animal shelter while deputies are still trying to locate the fourth.
The three dogs are reportedly owned by a woman in the neighborhood, according to a police report. Authorities are still investigating the incident and have not made any arrests.
