Man Arrested for Fatal Pit Bull Attack : DOGS ARE NOT ALWAYS FRIENDLY AS CLINTON BUDDY By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: July 28, 2006 Filed at 11:55 p.m. ET KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) -- The caretaker of a dog suspected in the mauling death of a 71-year-old woman was charged with involuntary manslaughter, officials said. The man denied he was responsible for the attack and claimed to only feed one of the dogs at a home where he used to live. Derrick D. Lee, 32, of Kansas City, told The Kansas City Star on Friday that another dog found attacking the woman was a stray. Firefighters needed an ax and a long pole to pull the dog away from Jimmie May McConnell when they found her in her yard Thursday. McConnell had extensive bites on her limbs and torso, ''but not one of the bites were such that you could say one was responsible for her death,'' Wyandotte County coroner Alan Hancock said. Preliminary autopsy results indicated McConnell died of a cardiac arrhythmia brought on by the trauma of the attack. The bite marks will be examined by an expert to determine whether more than one dog attacked the elderly widow, officials said. Investigators were uncertain of the dogs' breed but suspected they were pit bulls, which are banned in the city.
