(Beaver, PA) The death of a man from Beaver that occurred on Wednesday evening from a dog bite at a house in Beaver is still under investigation by both the Beaver County Coroner’s Office and the Beaver Borough Police Department. Beaver County Coroner David J. Gabauer identified the victim as fifty-year-old John Dicks, but he would not release any other information on him, saying the cause of death was “pending investigation.” Beaver police were called to a home along 6th Street right before 6 p.m. Sources say that a man was inside his home with his wife and two dogs when the woman said she heard a loud thud come from the kitchen. WPXI sources say the man’s wife walked into the kitchen and that the man was on the ground and their dog was at his neck, reportedly biting it. It is unclear exactly what happened at this time. Investigators are looking into if the man suffered a medical emergency.
