Morgan Dorsett, from Shropshire, was fatally attacked in a flat, with two individuals arrested and released on bail as investigations continue.

Morgan Dorsett, 19, was identified as the victim of a fatal dog attack on February 26 in a flat in the Hartcliffe area of Bristol.
The dog, believed to be an XL Bully, was seized, sedated, and later euthanized, with tests ongoing to confirm its breed.
A man and a woman, both in their 20s, were arrested on suspicion of owning a dangerously out-of-control dog causing death and possession of a prohibited breed but have been released on conditional bail.

Neighbors described the incident as shocking, with one suggesting the attack may have been a tragic accident, noting the dog’s temperament issues with men.
