Police were called to her family’s home at 2 pm Friday after a relative found her fatally wounded in her room, but Ms. Ladlow was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to The Sun, Abeygail Barrett, believed to be a relative, wrote on Facebook: “His previous dog was a pit bull who died of cancer, so he rescued this dog after finding him in a garden where he had been intermittently for four years.
“Sometimes dogs are rescued with good intentions, but their past can make them tragically unpredictable.”
A spokesman for the West Midlands Police Force said: “The death is being treated as a tragic incident, but without suspicious circumstances.
“A file will be prepared for the coroner in due course.”
