Ms Kulis was treated at the scene for serious injuries, however she died.

It’s understood the dog was euthanized shortly after the attack.

Neighbours claimed to 7NEWS that there had been several complaints made about dogs on the property, though it is unclear if any complaints were made about the euthanized dog prior to the attack.
