A one-week-old baby has been mauled to death by the family dog inside his home in Indiana.
Jason Anthony Weaver, born on August 28, died on Thursday from blunt-force trauma wounds, the Huntington County Coroner’s Office said.
The infant was attacked by a five-year-old husky-pit bull mix, which had no prior instances of violence, around 6pm, according to The Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
First responders attempted to perform life-saving efforts on the baby, but were unsuccessful.
Jason was transported to the hospital in critical condition. He was later pronounced dead.
His death has been ruled an accident, Huntington County Coroner’s Office said.
‘The Huntington County Coroner’s Office extend[s] their deepest sympathies to the Weaver family and friends,’ a press release said.
An emotional obituary for Jason said he loved rock and roll and country music.
‘He loved the song Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Though his time on this earth was short, he will be loved forever,’ it read.
In January, an eight-year-old Florida boy, Michael Millett, was mauled to death by a pair of pit bulls that were terrorizing his neighborhood.
Michael and his friend were riding bikes near his Central Florida home when they saw the killer dogs and went to pet them, the Volusia County Sheriff’s office said.
The dogs were initially friendly, but then viciously attacked little Michael.
Witnesses reportedly attempted CPR on the boy as police and animal control chased the dogs and put them in quarantine.
One dog was described as a pit bull and the other as a mixed breed.
