She was my friend's daughter's friend's sister if you can follow that. My friend is saying that no one but the police believe it was suicide??
The linked article says she had to climb over the fence to get in with the dogs. If that's suicide that is certainly a bizarre way to do it.

I wonder if this has ever happened before.
Medical Examiner: Woman subjected herself to dog attack
Beth LeBlanc, Times Herald 4:32 p.m. EST December 9, 2015
...The Oakland County Medical Examiner's office ruled Rebecca Hardy’s death a suicide, and the cause as multiple injuries.
Dr. Ljubisa Dragovic, chief medical examiner for Oakland County, said information provided to his office indicated Hardy had recently been thrown out of her house and was walking barefoot toward the yard some houses away.
"She climbed the fence and jumped in and basically subjected herself to the attacks, which constitutes a purposeful act," Dragovic said.
"It's a sad story, but these are the facts."
In a separate interview, Dragovic told the Detroit Free Press Hardy had attempted suicide in the past...

So if my brakes are going bad on my car and I drive it and am in an accident and die,did I commit suicide?
It might be my fault ,but it isn't suicide. People subject themselves to misfortune everyday ,it doesn't mean they are all suicidal.

The same thing could be said about driving under the influence. Person might know that he/she shouldn't drive while intoxicated, get into accident, perhaps fatal. Poor choice, but not suicide. :moo:
How would they know it was her intent to commit suicide by dog? I hate to say this, but dogs that will attack and kill a person are not exactly "safe" to have around. I don't understand owners that do this to their dogs by not socializing them (I am assuming).
I have two German Shepherds and they are well socialized and K9 cop trained. I have no doubt that they would bite anyone who tried to harm us. However, they would not bite to kill just because someone came in our yard. Unless they have a deer costume on. Then all bets are off...
