For the third time in eight months, death has touched the family of a Foresthill woman who was attacked and killed by pit bull dogs in December.

Walter Suehead, 70, the husband of Cora Lee Suehead, the 61-year-old woman who was killed by the dogs, died of natural causes Sunday in an Auburn hospital, officials for Chapel of the Hills in Auburn said.

His wife was found dead Dec. 4 on family property. Four pit bulls belonging to a relative were seized by Placer County Animal Control officers.

The dogs were destroyed Feb. 29 after state forensics tests confirmed the animals had attacked the woman, said Sheriff's Lt. Jeffrey Ausnow.

The Sueheads' daughter, Tammy Cummins, 42, was found dead in an Auburn home Dec. 20. Friends said she had been despondent over her mother's death.
