A delivery driver for Amazon was found dead after an apparent animal attack Monday in Missouri, and deputies shot and killed two aggressive dogs, the Ray County sheriff said.
Deputies were called to a home in Excelsior Springs, a town of around 10,000, around 7 p.m. after neighbors reported that an Amazon van had been parked there for several hours, Sheriff Ray Childers said.
A man's body was found in a yard, as were two highly aggressive dogs, he said. Deputies shot and killed the animals. ... The man’s identity was not immediately disclosed. ... The medical examiner will determine the cause of death, Childers said, but the victim's injuries were consistent with being attacked by an animal. ... His family was being notified Monday night, the sheriff said.
The owners of the residence were not home, and it appears they are out of town, Childers said.
