Sending all our love to the family, friends and rescue community mourning Amanda’s loss 💔
Tragic Sandy Bay Dog Mauling Death
On July 17 the Manitoba RCMP received a request for assistance locating a volunteer who had attended Sandy Bay First Nation on behalf of a non-profit animal rescue organization.
Police learned that the phone of the missing volunteer was still showing in Sandy Bay. Multiple resources attended to the area and conducted neighborhood inquiries as well as utilized the Remote Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS). The ping had a large radius which resulted in no one being located.
At approximately 6:00 AM this morning, a local maintenance worker located Amanda Nobiss
in the same area of the ping.
The cause of her death is under investigation and pending the results of a post-mortem examination, but has been reported by media as a dog attack.
The circumstances surrounding the death are not believed to be suspicious at this time. Several aggressive dogs had been observed in the area she was found.
We extend our condolences to the victim's family, friends, Sandy Bay residents, and the dog rescue community, as they deal with such a tragic loss. RIP Amanda. 💔
