Autopsy ordered in woman’s death
An autopsy has been ordered by the Milam County Sheriff’s Office in the death of an elderly Rockdale woman last Wednesday who was allegedly attacked by dogs while in her yard on Beverly Drive.
The autopsy was ordered to determine the exact cause of death, said Sheriff ’s Office Public Information Officer Brett Eberhart. He said more details will be released after the investigation.
Authorities had not released the woman’s name by The Reporter’s early deadline, but friends of the victim told The Reporter that she was Delores Woolverton who was in her late 80s.
Several dogs located at the scene “have been removed and secured out of an abundance of caution,” Eberhart confirmed.
