Frankie MacRitchie, from Plymouth, died from blood loss caused by multiple dog bites after being attacked by the 99-pound American bulldog cross Staffordshire bull terrier.

A schoolboy was mauled to death by a family friend's pitbull after being left alone in a caravan with the dog, an inquest heard.

Totterdell had rented the caravan from April 7 for a holiday and was joined by Frankie and Willis on April 11, Cornwall Coroner's Court heard.

Friend Cheryl Crocker said Willis left the caravan a couple of times to check on her son, and she heard screaming the first time the mum became aware of the tragedy, the inquest was told.

Emergency services were alerted shortly before 5am on April 13 after Tawney returned to the caravan and discovered Frankie lying on the kitchen floor covered in blood.

Dr Deborah Cook, a Home Office registered forensic pathologist, said Frankie had died from blood loss caused by multiple dog bites.
