Coroner Rules Homicide in Infant's Death

Nisbet: Attack led to "exsanguination, due to transection of blood vessels, due to animal eating, due to parental neglect."

 

Dorchester County Coroner Chris Nisbet has listed the manner of death as homicide in the case of a two-month old attacked by the family dog on Friday, according to local news reports, including ABC News 4. The cause of death was listed as "exsanguination, due to transection of blood vessels, due to animal eating, due to parental neglect."

Dorchester Sheriff L.C. Knight said Friday that the child's mother returned home around 11 a.m. Friday and found 2-month-old Aiden McGrew badly injured from the apparent mauling by one of the dogs. The infant was rushed to Summerville Medical Center by Dorchester County EMS and later died.
