Nova Scotia school officials say a 13-year-old boy attacked by three large dogs has died.
The Tri-County Regional Centre for Education says the loss of the Grade 8 student at Shelburne Regional High School will be felt widely and that supports are in place at the school for other students.
The RCMP said Tuesday that their investigation is ongoing.
“At this time, no charges have been laid,” the RCMP said in an e-mail to CBC News.
Police said on Monday that three “large-breed” dogs attacked the boy just after 5 p.m. on Saturday as he was driving past on his bicycle.
The attack was reported on Upper Sandy Cove Road in Welshtown, N.S., about 12 kilometres north of the town of Shelburne. The boy was transported by LifeFlight helicopter to hospital in Halifax where he later died.
Police said the dogs were euthanized by a veterinarian.
