The dog attack was devastating, leaving the athlete with serious injuries that led to the amputation of her arms.
The sports community is in mourning following the tragic death of Isidra Torres, a prominent Mexican athlete specializing in marathons, who lost her life as a result of injuries sustained in an attack by three pitbull dogs.
The 52-year-old athlete had been fighting for her life for 28 days at the Dr. Aurelio Valdivieso Hospital in Oaxaca, Mexico.
The Oaxaca Prosecutor’s Office has reclassified the case as negligent homicide, after it was determined that the attack occurred while Isidra was walking through her neighborhood.
The dogs reportedly belonged to a neighbor of the athlete , who, after the attack, chose to hide the animals on his property and did not provide assistance to Isidra.
Outrage in the athlete’s family
Isidra ‘s family is outraged, especially her daughter Isis Guadalupe Zárate Torres , who denounced the lack of action by the dogs’ owner and the inaction of the authorities.
“He left my mother lying there and didn’t even help me to rescue her,” she said angrily. “No one has been arrested, and the owner of the dogs continues to walk them as if nothing had happened,” she added.
The attack was devastating, leaving Isidra with serious injuries that led to the amputation of her arms.
The athlete’s family has called for justice, while prosecutors have tried to obtain an arrest warrant against the dogs’ owner, but a judge has rejected the request, adding to the frustration of her loved ones.
