SPENCER, Iowa — Authorities say a rural Rossie, Iowa, woman died after receiving multiple bites from her five Great Danes.
According to a statement from the Clay County Sheriff's Office, Mindy Kiepe, 43, was found dead Monday in a ditch, just a short distance from her driveway.
The statement said the Clay County Communication Center received a 911 call from a man who believed he had come across a motorcycle crash. The caller stated he had found a female subject in a ditch, but couldn't get close to her because of several big dogs.
After deputies arrived at the scene, it was determined that Kiepe was deceased. She was not involved in a motorcycle crash. On Wednesday, the state medical examiner ruled that she died from multiple dog bite injuries.
Kiepe's five Great Danes were humanely euthanized, according to the statement.
