Man dies days after mauled by dogs in Detroit, family says
(CBS DETROIT) – A Detroit father who was mauled by three dogs earlier this week has died, his family said.
Harold Phillips’ wife, Shauntaye, posted an update on the family’s GoFundMe page, saying her husband died Friday evening.
“I appreciate every prayer donation and message. Thank you all for the love and care you’ve shown my husband. My children and I are forever grateful,” she said.
Phillips was heading home from a bus stop near the corner of Longacre Street and W. Chicago Road when he was attacked. Due to the extent of his injuries, Phillips had his arm amputated.
City officials say the incident was preventable as the dogs’ owner did not follow the city’s ordinance and failed to secure them. The three dogs that attacked Phillips have been euthanized, and the owner received a total of $5,000 in fines.
On Thursday, Phillips’ family announced that they were suing the city of Detroit and the dogs’ owner.

Vehicles travel through water collected near water main break in Detroit.
DETROIT (FOX 2) – A water main break in Detroit is causing headaches for drivers and sending water into the streets of one of the city’s east side neighborhoods.
The break involves a 42-inch pipeline at East Jefferson and Burns Drive.
The breakage happened on Sunday, leaving only one lane open for each direction of travel.
Local perspective:
A day after the breakage, water was still gathering on the road of Jefferson Avenue.
Video captured of the scene Monday morning showed vehicles driving through ponds of water. Construction equipment were on site along with traffic cones.
The backstory:
This isn’t the only major disruption to water services in the region.
This weekend, a catastrophic breakage at 14 Mile near Drake impacted several Oakland County communities and thousands of residents.
Novi and Walled Lake were among those hardest hit by the breakage, which included dramatic scenes of waves of water washing down the road, submerging vehicles.
The Source: FOX 2’s Charlie Langton and previous reporting were cited for this story.
A water main break in Detroit Saturday night has forced lane closures on a road on the city’s east side, according to city officials.
The incident on East Jefferson Avenue near Burns Avenue was reported around 9 p.m. Officials said a 42-inch water main in the area ruptured.
“Crews responded immediately early Sunday morning to shut off the main and to begin preparing for repairs,” Detroit officials said in a news release.
All residents in the area should have service “due to redundancy in the water system,” according to officials. Anyone who doesn’t is asked to call the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department at 313-267-8000.
As of Sunday afternoon, the city has not issued a boil water advisory and says there are no issues with street flooding.
Repairs are expected to begin on Monday and officials estimate they will be completed “around the middle of the week.”
One lane in each direction of East Jefferson Avenue will remain open at and around the area of the break until repairs are done, and bike lanes at the repair location will be closed.
Officials are asking motorists who drive through the area to budget additional time for their commute or seek an alternate route until all lanes reopen.
