1-Month-Old Died Before Dog Mauling At NYC Apartment, Medical Examiner Says
Briefly

The tragic case of a 1-month-old girl found dead in a New York City apartment has drawn significant attention after the city's medical examiner ruled that she was not killed by a dog mauling. The infant died prior to the attack by a German Shepherd-pit bull mix, which was discovered gnawing on her face. Although the exact cause of death is still unknown, investigators are continuing to look into the circumstances surrounding the incident, which occurred in a public housing complex in Queens.
On Wednesday, the medical examiner determined that the infant had died before she was mauled by the dog.
The baby's mother told a neighbor that the child was sleeping between her and the stepfather when the dog attacked.
