An inquest into the death of an 85-year-old woman in a dog attack has been adjourned until a further hearing later this year.
The Black Country area coroner Joanne Lees said retired cook Lucille Downer was pronounced dead after police were called to reports that she had been attacked by two dogs at her home in Boundary Avenue, Rowley Regis, on April 2.
A short hearing in Oldbury, West Midlands, was told the Jamaican-born widow’s body was later identified by a relative.
No members of her family were present for the inquest opening, which did not hear evidence from any witnesses.
