Police investigating after woman died after trying to stop dog from biting goat
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – A woman’s death is under investigation on Hawaii Island.
Officers were called to the scene around 3:45 p.m. Tuesday. They responded to a report of a dog bite in the 87-3400 block of Mamalahoa Highway in South Kona.
Police report that a woman attempted to stop her dog from attacking a pet goat. When officers arrived, they found the woman unconscious and unresponsive on the ground.
Responding officers said the woman, identified as 42-year-old Sommer Crivello of Ocean View, wasn’t breathing and they began CPR. They also said that while she had abrasions to her left hand consistent with a dog bite, they do not believe her death was a result of trying to stop the bite.
An autopsy is scheduled to determine her exact cause of death.
Meanwhile, Hawai’i County Animal Control and Protection Agency also responded and took the dog from the scene. Police added the dog was Crivello’s family pet and wasn’t aggressive toward officers.
