Report has it that an Italian woman was “torn apart” and fatally mauled by her brother’s dog while she tried to feed the canine this week who is identified as Patrizia La Marca.
Patrizia La Marca 53, had stopped by her brother’s home in the northern resort town of Ventimiglia Wednesday afternoon to take care of his Rottweiler when the dog suddenly attacked her.Neighbors who heard her cries called for help, with first responders arriving at the scene at around 4 p.m.
Unfortunately La Marca was in a pool of blood, with severe bites to her head, arms, chest and shoulders.It took first responders two hours to assist La Marca due to the dog’s aggression, with law enforcement eventually shooting and injuring the canine before taking it to a city kennel. 
Marca was rushed to a hospital via helicopter but later died from her injuries. According to one emergency worker Marca’s body was “torn apart in several places.” “I have never seen anything like it,” the worker said. “A similar case has never occurred in the town as far as I can remember,” said Mayor Isio Cassini. “I am very sorry for [La Marca] and her family.”
Authorities are investigating the incident. It is unclear if the dog will be put down.
