Canadian woman dies after being mauled by wild dogs on Kegari Beach, Australia

 

 

A 19-year-old Canadian woman was killed after being mauled by wild dogs on Kegari (Fraser Island), a popular tourist destination in Australia. The woman's body was found surrounded by wild animals on Monday morning. They had come to visit this island in Queensland.

The incident came to light at around 6:30 am on Monday. The initial conclusion of the police is that the woman was attacked while she was swimming in the sea at around 5 am. The woman was attacked by 'dingos', a wild dog native to Australia. The search team reached the scene to find them standing around the body in a horrified state.

Dingoes are given special protection on Kegari Island, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Although they do not usually attack humans, authorities point out that such attacks, which do occur rarely, are extremely deadly. The police and the wildlife department have launched a joint investigation into the incident.

Authorities have strictly advised tourists and locals to be extremely careful and avoid close contact with dingoes. The Canadian government, which received information, has promised all necessary assistance to the woman's family.
