During the scramble, Trigg, described as a &#8220;gentle giant,&#8221; accidentally bit her under the arm, severing an artery and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >causing fatal blood loss<\/a>. The bite was deemed unintentional by the coroner, Lincoln Brookes. Adding to the family&#8217;s grief, Hempstead had recently suffered the loss of her daughter weeks prior. Following the incident, police declared both dogs for destruction. Hempstead&#8217;s boyfriend witnessed the accident; he was briefly arrested but then released.
